Winery: Domaine Louis Michel et FilsDomaine Louis Michel et Fils tends 21 hectares of vineyards, including esteemed Premier and Grand Cru plots. True to authentic Chablis tradition, their wines are unoaked and fermented in stainless steel, ensuring the fresh purity of the fruit is preserved. The wine matures on its lees in tanks for 12 months, gaining intricate bready nuances and a smooth texture. The result is a lively, citrus-driven wine with floral notes, crisp green apple, and a burst of zesty lemon. With a winemaking heritage dating back to the 19th century, the Michel family continues to excel in producing exceptional Chablis from their renowned vineyards.
