Rated 3*Stars (A high-quality product that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

A long-established Chablis family, the Michels cultivate the finest vineyards, including both Premier Cru and Grand Cru sites. 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 rather understated in the bottle, but their minerality comes through effortlessly after a few years of aging.

About the wine:

Restrained yet remarkably focused, this is an intense premier cru with great potential. Notes of peach intermingled with zesty lime. Very refined. Made from 68-year-old vines growing in very dense white clay soils that are like concrete when dry and heavy when wet.

About the wine:

The 2022 Chablis Butteaux Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru comes from vines that are about 70 years old—slightly older than those in the regular cuvée, but grown on different soils (white clay rather than brown clay with a high fossil content). It is generally bottled a little later. The nose is slightly more expressive, with very well-defined notes of red cherries and peach skin. The palate is well-balanced, with greater harmony than the regular cuvée, lively acidity, and hints of oyster shell on the salty finish. Long-lasting. Excellent.
