Louis Michel & Fils Chablis Grand Cru Vaudesir 2021

Cellar for 15 years or more. Decant or air for up to 30 minutes before serving.

The Michel family's commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of their winemaking. From the carefully tended vines to the meticulous winemaking process, Louis Michel & Fils has never lost its sense of continuity or tradition. Nowadays, Guillaume Michel is at the helm, creating an immaculate selection of Chardonnay-based Chablis wines.

“Vaudésir” is one of Chablis’ Grand Crus. It lies in a sheltered, basin-like valley and Louis Michel & Fils’ plot can be found right in the centre. Vaudésir wines are typically extremely focused, often exhibiting a rich, creamy mouthfeel and the unavoidable minerality that comes with Chablis.

This Grand Cru is a perfect expression of the terroir. Notes of flint, rhubarb, pineapple and acacia flower appear on the nose. The palate is velvety and medium-bodied, with hints of brioche and butter gained from malolactic fermentation. The fruits were aged for at least 18 months in stainless steel tanks before being bottled. However, tropical fruits reign in the mouth - delicious notes of pineapple and rhubarb continue to the palate and mingle with flavours of coconut and peach. The finish is long, deeply refreshing, and will leave you wanting more. For maximum enjoyment, serve this wine chilled, with shellfish, grilled fish or asparagus.
