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.

88-91 Points | International Wine Cellar , July/August 2012
Bright pale color. Complex aromas of white pepper, snap pea and fresh herbs call to mind a gruner veltliner. Moderately ripe but nicely concentrated and silky in texture, with good inner-palate lift. Finishes saline and dry, with pepper and herb notes contributing energy. Not a particularly fruity wine, this premier cru will almost certainly need a couple years of bottle aging.
