The vines here date from 1974. The bouquet offers a relatively rich expression of Chablis, if still a bit tight at the moment. There are apples and fresh quince, a huge volume of fruit on the palate, with real weight. It finishes on a pure expression of minerality. Jasper Morris, MW - Wine Buyer
Picking began on Wednesday 2nd October for Les Butteaux and finished on the 8th. The crop was down overall by 35%, especially in village and Grand Cru. The wines underwent a long, slow fermentation without any lees stirring. Though we have long been admirers of this domaine, this is the first appearance for Louis Michel in our Grand Burgundy Offer.off without problem during vinification and in the cellar.
