The wine
In the heart of Chablis, domain Louis Michel & Fils is one of the oldest domains in the appellation. And most importantly, one of the most regular. It has belonged to the same family since 1850, the domain now spans 25 hectares planted on hillsides. The key to its success was actually the domain’s decision to stop maturing its wines in oak. The result is clear, precise and direct wines of great finesse.
About the Producer Louis Michel et Fils
In the heart of Chablis, Domaine Louis Michel and Fils is one of the oldest domaines of the appellation. And, most importantly, one of the most consistent. In the family since 1850, it now has some 25 hectares of vines planted on hillsides. The key to its success is the abolition of barrel élevage. As a result, the domaine produces clear, clean, precise non-wooded wines. At the head of the domaine, Guillaume is convinced that the sustainable cultivation of his vines favours the expression of this exceptional terroir. As for his wines, he handle them as little as possible during the vinification and the élevage. This respect for the product and this long-term work are rewarded by obtaining wines to age for ten to twenty years.
