Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru 2021, Louis Michel & Fils
A Grand Cru of extreme finesse that forgoes muscular power to focus on elegance. The olfactory profile is a perfect balance between floral notes and sharp Kimmeridgian minerality. On the palate it is tense, savory, and characterized by a touching citrus persistence. A wine that celebrates the absolute purity of the terroir without any oaky influence.
Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru 2021, Louis Michel & Fils
The Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir 2021 from Domaine Louis Michel & Fils is a tribute to verticality and finesse. Vaudésir is often described as the most elegant and floral Grand Cru, thanks to its 'closed valley' formation that protects the vineyards from cold winds. The Michel family's choice to vinify exclusively in steel highlights in this fresh vintage (2021) a vibrant tension. On the nose, it is subtle but profoundly deep: notes of linden flowers, cedar zest, and green apple blend with an iodized and chalky minerality reminiscent of the scent of the sea after a storm. On the palate, it is lively, almost electric; the entry is silky, but the progression is dominated by a blade of citrus acidity and a mineral sapidity that cleanses the palate in a never-ending, aristocratic finish.
