Domaine Louis Michel & Fils Chablis 1er Cru Foret 2016
In the Domaine’s two parcels, the bedrock is very close to the ground, just a few centimetres underfoot. The minerality it conveys to the wine is therefore clean, precise and powerful.

Bouquet

Notes of forest floor and fern mingle with other spicier notes of cocoa and pepper.

Flavour

Heralding a lively, very mineral, chalky and mouth-watering palate.

Pairing

Starters
Fish
Shellfish
Cheese
