2018 Louis Michel & Fils Petit Chablis

The Michel family have been cultivating their passion for tradition and the Chablis terroir since 1850. Their Petit Chablis is produced from relatively young vines (the oldest were planted in 1991) on the plateau overlooking the Valmur and Les Grand Crus.

From a warmer vintage that delivered riper fruit profiles, plenty of flesh and lower acidity this is an excellent example of a fuller styled Chablis.

Brilliant pale straw to straw colour with a watery hue. Pronounced scents of ripe peach and pear are overlaid with dried honey followed by some wet stone notes. Quite full and round in the mouth the palate is well endowed with rich peach, ripe pear and dried honey flavours which sit over a stony back drop. A light dash of fresh herbs is also present. Nicely balanced acidity finishing long and concentrated.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
Alc. 12.5%
