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.

About wine:
There is complexity on the nose, weight and concentration on the palate, as well as high acidity, all combined with ripe fruit and mineral notes on the finish. It has just been bottled, but it is already very good. Manager Guillaume Michel notes that his Montée de Tonnerre is made from 100% Chapelot grapes. It is a homogeneous, south-facing plot that stretches from the bottom of Chapelot to the middle level.

About wine:
The Chablis Montée de Tonnerre Premier Cru 2022 has an appealing bouquet with hints of frangipane infused with citrus and notes of dried orange peel. The palate is well-balanced with a waxy texture. Well-defined, fairly salty, with a touch of tart lemon that blends into a slight hint of hazelnut and smoke. One of Louis Michel's best premier crus.
