Domaine Louis Michel & Fils Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux 2016
This wine comes from four separate plots on the Butteaux slopes, in the western part of the Montmains valley. They are the most distant from the winery, but only 2 km away. The clays here are compact and contain marl. The wines made from these vines express great complexity on the palate.

Bouquet

It has a complex nose, with caramelised baked apple aromas, toasted notes and sensations of wet stone and undergrowth.

Flavour

The palate is vibrant, with a mouthwatering finish.

Pairing

Chablis can be the star of an aperitif, accompanied with white meats or raw or soft cheeses.
