Louis Michel Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux ‘Vieilles Vignes’ 2022

After tasting the “VV” cuvée with Guillaume in his cellar in 2022, this has been one of our favorite allocations from Chablis every year. The age of the vines gives this wine a certain energy, depth and purity that sets it far apart from the regular ‘Butteaux’ bottling.

“Restrained and with notable concentration, this is an intense premier cru with great potential. Notes of peach fruit cut with zesty lime citrus. Very fine. From 68-year-old vines on very dense, white clay soils which are like concrete when dry, heavy when wet.” 94 points, Decanter
