Louis Michel & Fils 2021 Chablis Premier Cru Butteaux – Critics’ High Scores

Experience the Elegance of Louis Michel & Fils Chablis Premier Cru

Crafted in Burgundy’s revered Butteaux vineyard, this 2021 Chardonnay embodies Chablis’ signature purity. Grown on mineral-rich Kimmeridgian clay soils—a fossilized seabed imparting distinct salinity—each sip reveals layered complexity.

Critically Acclaimed Excellence
Rated 90-93+ by top publications, this vintage dazzles with tension and longevity. Burghound praises its floral bouquet entwined with crisp green apple, zesty lemon rind, and oceanic minerality. The palate delivers sleek intensity: bone-dry yet vibrant, featuring chalky undertones and beeswax elegance (John Gilman). Decanter notes its powerful structure—ideal for cellaring until 2050—while Jasper Morris highlights its swelling fruit depth balanced by youthful grip.
