Louis Michel & Fils 1er Cru Montmains 2023

Critical Acclaim: 92 pts John Gilman; 91 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Montmain expresses a blend of ripe, candied aromas and fresher, saline notes: spicy florals, roasted almond, candied lemon and apple. The palate is lively, chalky and saline. A pure, approachable wine, authentically Chablis. 

"The 2023 Montmains from Guillaume Michel is utterly classic in personality and proportions this year. The beautiful bouquet offers up a complex blend of lemon, tart pear, wet stone minerality, a bit of chalk dust and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied, long and complex, with a lovely core of fruit, fine detail, lovely balance and a long, mineral-driven and precise finish."- John GIlman. 

"Michel’s 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Montmain, bottled in November 2024, derives from southeast-facing vines growing in clay-rich soils that tend to bring roundness. Wafting from the glass with aromas of acacia, green apple, lemon zest and honeysuckle, it’s medium-bodied, bright and lively, with good focus and immediate charm."- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. 

Varietal: Chardonnay.
