Louis Michel & Fils 2019 Chablis "Montee de Tonnerre" 1er Cru 1.5L

An airy, expressive and beautifully layered nose speaks of smoky citrus, white flowers, iodine and shellfish along with a hint of volatile acidity. The round, seductive and vibrant medium-bodied flavors possess a succulent yet sophisticated mid-palate texture while delivering fine length on the clean, moderately dry and sneaky long finish. This too will need to add depth over time, but it has the underlying material with which to do so if allowed the chance.
