Louis Michel & Fils 2018 Chablis "Butteaux" 1er Cru 375ml

The 2018 Chablis Butteaux 1er Cru is more complex on the nose compared to some of Michel’s other cuvées, featuring lemon, juniper and orange pith scents, all quite vibrant and generous. The palate is well balanced with a slightly viscous opening, lovely honeyed notes and a bit of ginger toward the ample finish. Not long-term, but satisfying.
