Domaine Louis Michel

Chablis

Domaine Louis Michel currently works with 21 hectares of vineyards, many of them Premier and Grand Cru. Until as recently as the 80's, Jean-Loup (the Winemaker) fermented and aged his wines in old oak barrels, today, however, there is a more modern approach and all the wines are fermented in stainless steel with varying lengths of contact with the lees to add complexity. This protective approach allows for a much fresher expression of the Chardonnay grape, and crisper, cleaner wines throughout.
