2020 Chablis Domaine Courtault Michelet

Fantastic Chablis produced from grapes from vineyards located on slopes that benefit from a southwestern exposure in the northwestern part of Chablis, spread across the villages of Lignorelles, Beine, Villy and Chablis. The soils are varied, but mainly composed of limestone with some fossils and oyster shells that give the wines their characteristic mineral expression. The grapes are picked and fermented in steel tanks for 8-10 days. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation, which helps to balance the otherwise very high acidity in the wine. The wine is then aged on the lees, resulting in complex notes of toasted bread and nuts. The wine is golden in the glass with straw yellow reflections. The aroma is filled with notes of orange blossom, fresh stone fruit, bergamot and citrus. The taste is crisp and pleasant with notes of peach, bergamot, lime, green almonds and toasted bread. The finish is long with a nice mineral aftertaste. Perfect as an aperitif, on the terrace or with light dishes with fish, seafood, vegetables, light meat etc. Translated using AI.
