Domaine Louis Michel & Fils Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux Vieilles Vignes 2013
This parcel was planted in 1954, and 2005 marked its 51st birthday... With its exceptional location, with vertical roots plunging deep into the ground, its yield is slowing reducing year after year. It is therefore matured separately in the same way as a Grand Cru and can be labelled "Vielles Vignes".

Bouquet

It opens with notes of concentrated milk, acacia flowers and licorice.

Flavour

In the mouth, sea breeze aromas lead to a warm finish with jam and peach, cooked apples and fruit tart.
