"Aromas of white flowers, light honey, fresh bread and green apple precede the Chablis 1er Cru Forêts 2020, a medium- to full-bodied, satiny and saline wine, lively and precise, with an elegant and finely daring profile this year." (Wine Advocate 2022).

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated wine 91/100
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
A lovely, delicate nose, combining beautiful ripe fruit and floral nuances, a pleasantly round, tasty palate.
About the domain :
An old Chablis family, the Michel's cultivate the very best areas, both premier cru and grand cru. The estate is one of the very few to offer the Grenouilles Grand Cru, whose main producer is La Chablisienne. Since 1969, vinification has been carried out in stainless steel tanks, so that the wines here often start off discreetly in bottle, but their minerality reveals itself without concern after a few years' cellaring.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 91/100
About the wine:
Forêts 2020 stands out for its straw-like vegetal note. Although the fruit appears tender, it lacks a little sparkle and energy.
