The 2022 Louis Michel Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir is a refined and elegant Chardonnay from one of Chablis’ most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards. Produced by Louis Michel & Fils, an estate renowned for its unoaked winemaking style, this wine highlights the purity and terroir-driven character of the Vaudésir climat. The nose offers vibrant aromas of lemon zest, white peach, pear and citrus blossom, supported by subtle notes of oyster shell and wet stone.
On the palate, it is concentrated yet graceful, with bright acidity, layered stone fruit flavours and a pronounced mineral backbone. The texture is silky and precise, leading to a long, fresh and beautifully balanced finish. While approachable now, it also has the structure to reward careful cellaring.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for lovers of premium Chardonnay seeking elegance, minerality and ageing potential. Enjoy now with seafood or cellar through 2040 for added complexity. Perfect with lobster, scallops, oysters, crab and refined seafood dishes.
