Domaine Louis Michel et Fils - 1er Cru Séchets 2016

Bettane & Desseauve
"In my opinion, the 2016 Chablis 1er Cru Séchets is the most refined of Louis Michel’s Premiers Crus this year. It unfolds in the glass with aromas of lemon oil, oatmeal, honeycomb, and dried white flowers. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, concentrated, and textured, with superb liveliness and tension and a long, briny finish.” (Wine Advocate 2018 - Robert Parker) A Premier Cru with aging potential, in the purest Chablis tradition!

About the estate:
A long-established family in Chablis, the Michels cultivate the finest vineyards, both Premier Cru and Grand Cru. The estate is also one of the very few to offer the Grenouilles grand cru, of which La Chablisienne remains the primary producer. Since 1969, winemaking has been carried out in stainless steel tanks, so the wines here often start out quietly in the bottle, but their minerality comes through effortlessly after a few years of aging.
