The 2024 Louis Michel Chablis is a refined and mineral-driven Chardonnay that captures the purity and elegance for which the Chablis region is renowned. Produced by the highly regarded Louis Michel & Fils estate, known for its commitment to unoaked winemaking, this wine highlights the distinctive character of Chablis’ limestone-rich soils. The nose is fresh and expressive, offering aromas of lemon zest, green apple and white peach, alongside subtle floral notes and classic hints of flint and wet stone.
On the palate, it is crisp, focused and beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity supporting flavours of citrus, orchard fruits and chalky minerality. The absence of oak allows the wine’s purity and terroir expression to shine through, creating a clean, precise mouthfeel and impressive freshness. The finish is long, dry and refreshing, leaving lingering mineral notes that are unmistakably Chablis.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for lovers of classic, mineral-driven Chardonnay. Its freshness, elegance and versatility make it equally suited to casual dining or more refined occasions. Best enjoyed over the next 5–7 years while retaining its vibrant fruit and mineral character. Ideal with freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, lobster, white fish, sushi, roast chicken or creamy goat’s cheese.
