2023 Louis Michel Petit Chablis

The young Petit Chablis vines enjoy abundant sunshine on the plateaus overlooking the Valmur and Les Clos Grand Cru vineyards. They produce fresh, lively wines that should be enjoyed while they are young and fruity.

Portlandian. Right bank slopes. Shallow and very stony soils, rich in organic matter. Shallow limestone soil. The young Petit Chablis vines, which are planted in direct sunlight on the plateau overlooking the Valmur and Les Clos grand crus, give a fresh, lively, fruit-forward wine to be enjoyed in its youth.

No added yeast, long fermentation using indigenous yeasts, in temperature-controlled vats. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation.

Matured for 6 to 10 months. In stainless steel tanks, with the least possible handling. Long moderately cold stabilisation. Fining using bentonite if necessary. The wine is gently filtered once before bottling. – Guillaume Gicqueau-Michel
