Chablis 1er Cru Forêts Louis Michel et Fils 2015

The wine

Chablis Premier Cru Forêts is a very mineral wine that makes the perfect accompaniment for a wide range of seafood products (seafood, shellfish and raw fish). The nose offers fruity aromas: exotic fruit (mango), white fruit (pear) and light citrus notes; there are floral notes too. In the mouth, after a bracing, flavoursome attack, minerality comes to the fore.

About the Producer Louis Michel et Fils

In the heart of Chablis, Domaine Louis Michel and Fils is one of the oldest domaines of the appellation. And, most importantly, one of the most consistent. In the family since 1850, it now has some 25 hectares of vines planted on hillsides. The key to its success is the abolition of barrel élevage. As a result, the domaine produces clear, clean, precise non-wooded wines. At the head of the domaine, Guillaume is convinced that the sustainable cultivation of his vines favours the expression of this exceptional terroir. As for his wines, he handle them as little as possible during the vinification and the élevage. This respect for the product and this long-term work are rewarded by obtaining wines to age for ten to twenty years.
