Louis Michel and Fils Chablis 1er Cru Forêts 2018
Chablis, Burgundy, FranceFrom two parcels with deep bedrock close to the stony, Kimmeridgian limestone on the surface, these grapes were planted from 1969-78. After a native ferment in stainless, this remained there on lees for 12-16 months. Forêts is a 1er cru within the larger Montmains 1er cru, on the left bank. Elegant and steely, with bright lemon, green apple bedded by a stony base, slicked with lees, and threaded with flint. Lovely typicity of Forêts here, drinking very well now and with time ahead.Tasted: 02 April 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $54.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
