Domaine Louis Michel Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos

Chablis · Grand Cru

This hasn't changed much since my last having it a few years ago. There is notable acidity and a noble mineral streak that distinguish it from a number of other more bulbous 2018 Chablis. The tension…

Domaine Louis Michel Chablis 1er Cru Séchets

Chablis · 1er Cru

In a great spot right now for my palate, especially after a bit of air to stretch its legs. Fabulous acidity and vibrancy, especially for its class and QPR. Zingy lemon citrus backed by an intense…

Domaine Louis Michel Chablis 1er Cru Séchets

Chablis · 1er Cru

Much more filled-out and salivating than 1.5 years ago, with persistent tension cradling the lip-smacking lemon drop and white stone notes, this 2017 Sechet is a winner. Finishes with a nice…

Domaine Louis Michel Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir

Chablis · Grand Cru

Chablis · Grand Cru

Not sure I'm able to sanction or echo some of the other comments regarding concentration and complexity with this wine at the moment. It is unquestionably on the "whiter" and taut spectrum of Chablis…

Domaine Louis Michel Chablis 1er Cru Séchets

Chablis · 1er Cru

White stone fruit, lemon juice, lemon rind, white travertine, and unripe pear. More on the white end of the fruit spectrum, with the yellow citrus following closely behind. Direct and fairly linear…

Domaine Louis Michel Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux Vieilles Vignes

Chablis · 1er Cru

Spun up, chalky, and pithy on initial entry, with air helping to coax out some white melon and white lemon rind, green apple, white stone, lemon seed, and unripe pear notes. Fairly anorexic on the…

Domaine Louis Michel Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir

Chablis · Grand Cru

PnP was near SB-esque, with wired-tight lemon juice, chalk, lychee, white melon, and quince notes. Decanted for over three hours and this monkey started to move ever so slightly into the realm of…
