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.

About the wine:
Restrained, with notable concentration, this is an intense premier cru with great potential. Notes of peach cut by zesty lime citrus. Very fine. From 68-year-old vines on very dense white clay soils that are like concrete when dry, heavy when wet.

About the wine:
Chablis Butteaux Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru 2022 is made from vines aged around 70 years, only slightly older than the regular cuvée, but on different soils (white rather than brown clay with a high fossil content). It is generally bottled a little later. The nose is a little more expressive, with well-defined notes of red cherry and peach skin. The palate is well-balanced, with more harmony than the regular cuvée, lively acidity and hints of oyster shell on the saline finish. Great persistence. Excellent.
