Tasting note
Particularly classy Chablis, with a lovely wet-stone austerity, a lemon-scented freshness and crisp green apples on the palate.
In the press
Notions of crisp green apple, citrus blossom, peach and beeswax introduce the 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Forêts, a medium-bodied, elegantly textural wine with a delicate core of fruit, lively acids and a nicely defined finish. This is an especially perfumed, pretty Forêt from Louis Michel. Drink 2020-2030.
Viticulture
Two parcels, planted 10 years apart make the Louis Michel "Forêts". Here, solid rock is only a few centimetres underfoot. The minerality brought to the wine is therefore clean, precise and powerful. The soil is Kimmeridgian limestone, in a clay base, very stony, shallow ground, typical for the Left Bank of the Serein. The average age of the vines 35 years.
Food Match
Minerality, dryness and fresh lemony acidity make ideal partners for firm-fleshed fish or oysters.
