Louis Michel et Fils, Chablis Forèts Premier Cru, Burgundy, France, 2013

Overview of the Wine
The Michel family has been cultivating their passion for tradition and the Chablis terroir since 1850. In the mid-20th century, the family stopped making wine in wooden barrels in favor of stainless steel tanks to create clean, pure, and precise Chablis without adding artificial woody flavors. Through this philosophy, combined with limited yields inspired by organic wine-growing techniques, the Domaine has developed a worldwide reputation for fine winemaking in stainless steel tanks. A firmly-rooted sense of excellence is passed down from generation to generation. Louis Michel & Fils has always been a family business and is managed today by Guillaume Gicqueau-Michel."

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
A mineral nose, hinting at chalk. Super, lithe, intensely flavoured, and mouth-watering. A peak of post-swallowing flavour. This is really a fine one.

92 Points - Vinous
The 2013 Chablis Forèts is a little richer and more powerful than the Montmains owing to the slightly warmer microclimate. At the same time, the heavy presence of limestone in these soils yields a wine with bright, saline-infused minerality and considerable steely tension.
