Domaine Louis Michel - Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux Vieilles Vignes 2021 (750ml)

Decanter 94 points
"Louis Michel's old-vine Butteaux comes from vines with an average age of 65 years (45 years in the 'standard' bottling). The soil here is white clay - very dense in texture and poorly drained. An excellent balance of power and richness here with lemon/lime notes on the palate, all kept taut and in line by the vibrant hit of acidity. This could compare favorably with many a grand cru."

"The 2021 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux Vieilles Vignes is as usual one of the highlights of the range, unwinding in the glass with aromas of peach, ripe citrus oil and beeswax mingled with hints of toasted nuts and reduction. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, it's pure and precise, with racy acids and a saline finish. Now bottled under Diam, this will reward some bottle age."
