"The 2023 Chablis Butteaux 1er Cru has a perfumed and quite floral bouquet, with touches of yellow flowers infusing the citrus fruit and a little more intensity than the preceding Fôrets. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. It's a little honeyed in texture, but there is some tension and good weight on the finish. The 2023 is promising."

"The 2023 Chablis Butteaux 1er Cru has a fine bouquet with dried honey and wild peach at first. Deft touches of orange blossom appear on its heels. The palate is taut and fresh, quite linear in style with a dash of ginger towards the finish. A little tight at the moment, it will require a couple of years in bottle."

About The Winery
The Michel family has been cultivating their passion for tradition and the Chablis terroir since 1850. In the mid-20th century, the family stopped making wine in wooden barrels in favor of stainless steel tanks to create clean, pure, and precise Chablis without adding artificial woody flavors. Through this philosophy, combined with limited yields inspired by organic wine-growing techniques, the domaine has developed a worldwide reputation for fine winemaking in stainless steel tanks. A firmly-rooted sense of excellence is passed down from generation to generation. Louis Michel & Fils has always been a family business and is managed today by Guillaume Gicqueau-Michel.
