Description

Louis Michel & Fils 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre Chardonnay

Discover Burgundy’s Mineral-Driven Elegance

Sourced from Chablis’ iconic Montée de Tonnerre vineyards in Burgundy’s limestone-rich terroir, this Louis Michel & Fils 2020 Chardonnay redefines white wine sophistication. Crafted by winemaking pioneers Guillaume Michel and his family estate—renowned for pioneering tank-fermented Chablis styles—this vintage captures Burgundy’s purest expression of minerality and tension.

A Masterpiece of Balance

  • Vibrant Aroma: Notes of white flowers, ocean breeze salinity, and quinine-infused citrus greet your senses
  • Palate Precision: Taut acidity meets satiny texture—mineral-driven layers evolve into a bitter lemon finish
  • Aging Potential: Cellar-worthy structure hints at peak complexity post-2025

Perfect Pairings

Elevate seafood feasts with its marine mineral backbone—pair with oysters Rockefeller or Dover sole meunière. Its crisp acidity cuts through creamy cheeses like Comté while complementing buttery scallops flawlessly.

Why This Wine Stands Out

Louis Michel’s estate has long championed tank fermentation over oak aging—a bold choice that preserves Chablis’ signature purity. This 2020 vintage exemplifies their legacy: awarded 94 points by Jasper Morris MW (“real grip” in aftertaste) and hailed as Burghound Outstanding for its “youthful austerity” and “classy elegance.”

Sip Smarter

With 13% alcohol content and Burgundy’s hallmark dry finish, this is your go-to for refined gatherings or solo sipping sessions.
