About Louis Michel & Fils
In six generations of winemaking here in Chablis, the Michel family has developed a no nonsense approach. You won't find the distracting presence of oak in these immaculate Chardonnays, because no wood is used in their cellaring.

Good bright, pale yellow. Pure, subtle nose melds peach, pineapple and white flowers. Showing less body than the Forets but well-integrated acidity gives precision to the middle palate. Fresh, citrussy flavors carry through to the lightly saline, dusty finish, which shows sneaky persistence. Very successful for this bottling, which Gicqueau-Michel told me he often finds a bit rustic.
