Domaine Michaut Freres, Chablis, Burgundy, France, 2022

£179.94

Domaine Michaut Freres winery is located in Biene close to Chablis, built on the classic soil of the region, kimmeridgian, under-pining the 60 hectares of vineyards. These wines show great typicity, steely acidity, plenty of fruit with that unmistakeable note of flinty “terroir”.

The grapes are pressed pneumatically straight after harvest and settled by gravity for 24 hours in stainless steel vats, then racked to obtain the clear juice. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out in stainless steel for 15 days at 21º C, followed by Malolactic fermentation, again in stainless steel for 5 weeks at 20º C. About 10% of the wine is aged in mostly old oak barrels for 6 months.

Oak Ageing: 6 Months in 228L French Oak

Tasting: This is a classic and classy Chablis, showcasing the mineral terroir beautifully with notes of flint stone and fleshy fruits lingering on the palate.

Food pairing: A wine that goes well with Burgundy snails, Chablis sausage and seafood.

Variety: 100% Chardonnay   ABV 13%     Vegetarian / Vegan

Case of 6 bottles £ 179.94
