The 2023 Louis Michel Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos is a powerful, concentrated Chardonnay from one of Chablis’ most prestigious Grand Cru sites. The nose shows lemon confit, apricot and Mirabelle plum with orange zest, white flowers, beeswax and subtle flinty notes, combining ripe fruit with classic Chablis minerality.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and layered with vibrant acidity, concentrated citrus and stone fruit and a strong mineral backbone. Louis Michel ferments with indigenous yeasts and matures the wine for at least 18 months entirely in stainless steel, preserving purity without oak influence. The finish is long, powerful and precise, with considerable structure for extended ageing.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Chablis collectors and Chardonnay drinkers who enjoy powerful, mineral-driven white Burgundy with exceptional ageing potential. Give it time in the cellar or decant if drinking young. Pair with lobster, scallops, grilled snapper, roast chicken, richer seafood dishes or mature cheeses.
