Domaine Louis Michel et Fils - Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir 2022

"When desires become reality with this high-flying vintage!"

"The bouquet is balanced and concentrated, with notes of white peach and praline infusing the mineral scents. Very restrained and discreet at first, it then gains in intensity. The palate is well-balanced, with notes of tart marmalade and quince, good depth and cohesion, halfway between classicism and the generous, almost tropical nature of the 2022 vintage. Highly recommended" (Vinous 2023)
