Louis Michel & Fils Chablis Grand Cru Vaudesir 2022

This exceptional wine is ready to enjoy now, but it also possesses the structure and complexity to age gracefully for 15 years or more in your cellar. Decanting or airing it for up to 30 minutes before serving is recommended to fully unlock its aromatic potential.

The Michel family’s unwavering dedication to quality shines through in every bottle of Louis Michel & Fils. From their meticulously tended vineyards to their precise winemaking practices, they have maintained a steadfast commitment to tradition and excellence. Today, Guillaume Michel leads the estate, crafting an immaculate collection of Chardonnay-based Chablis wines that showcase the region’s unique terroir.

“Vaudésir” is one of Chablis’ most esteemed Grand Cru vineyards. Located in a sheltered, basin-like valley, Louis Michel & Fils’ plot sits at its very heart. Vaudésir wines are renowned for their focus, often exhibiting a rich, creamy texture and the unmistakable minerality that defines Chablis.

This Grand Cru “Vaudésir” is a quintessential expression of its terroir. On the nose, it reveals captivating notes of flint, rhubarb, pineapple, and acacia flower. The palate is velvety and medium-bodied, with hints of brioche and butter imparted by malolactic fermentation. The grapes were aged for at least 18 months in stainless steel tanks before bottling, preserving their purity and vibrancy. Delicious tropical fruit flavors dominate—think pineapple, rhubarb, coconut, and peach—creating a complex and harmonious symphony. The finish is long, deeply refreshing, and utterly captivating.

For the ultimate experience, serve this wine chilled alongside shellfish, grilled fish, or fresh asparagus.
