MICHEL CHABLIS 1ER CRU BUTTEAUX 2024 750ML

Domaine Louis Michel & Fils Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux

A rich, powerful and beautifully mineral Premier Cru Chablis, Louis Michel's Butteaux combines ripe Chardonnay fruit with impressive freshness, depth and the distinctive limestone character of Chablis.

The nose is expressive, showing ripe pear, white peach, green apple and lemon, with elegant notes of white flowers, citrus zest, wet stone and chalk. On the palate, it is fuller and more generous than many Chablis Premier Crus, with a silky texture, concentrated fruit and vibrant acidity providing balance. The wine finishes long, dry and saline, with persistent chalky minerality.

Louis Michel's stainless-steel fermentation and élevage keeps the wine free from prominent oak flavors, emphasizing purity and the expression of the vineyard.
