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, salty finish." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Robert Parker) A Premier Cru for aging, in the pure Chablis tradition!

About the estate:
An old Chablis family, the Michels cultivate the best areas, both premier crus and grands crus. The estate is also one of the very few to offer the Grand Cru Grenouilles, whose main producer remains La Chablisienne. Since 1969, the wines have been vinified in stainless steel vats, so they often start out discreetly in the bottle, but their minerality reveals itself beautifully after a few years of aging.
