The Chablis producer Louis Michel is the benchmark for pure, unoaked Chablis. Intense and tensile wines are the calling card here, pure and unadorned by style and consistently high in quality.
In northernmost Burgundy, the Chablis Premier Cru Forêts vineyards managed by Guillaume Michel, the sixth generation of the Michel family, grow on thin soil and push deep into the bedrock. The shallow bedrock and stony soil in the Forêts vineyards bring clean, precise and powerful minerality to the wines that start their life here. The terroir also delivers notes of undergrowth and fern mingled with spicier ripe fruit, as well as aromas of cocoa and pepper.
