{"title":"Louis Michel \u0026 Fils","description":"\u003cp\u003eDomaine Louis Michel \u0026amp; Fils has been based in the town of Chablis since 1850. Guillaume Michel, the sixth generation of the family, has run it since 2007.

Guillaume's grandfather gave up barrels at the end of the 1960s, and the domaine has been entirely stainless steel ever since, with no oak at any level from Petit Chablis to grand cru. Three grands crus are held: Vaudésir and Les Clos, and about half a hectare of Grenouilles, the smallest of the seven Chablis grands crus. The premiers crus run to Montmains and its sub-climats Butteaux and Forêts, together with Vaillons, Séchets, Fourchaume and Montée de Tonnerre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe soils are ploughed, once by horse and now by tractor, with systematic de-budding and severe pruning; the estate is certified HVE3, the top level of the French Haute Valeur Environnementale scheme, and keeps hedgerows and bees across the property. Fermentation runs on the grapes' own yeasts and the malolactic goes through of its own accord. The wines show green apple and citrus, a firm line of acidity, and the flinty, saline grip of Kimmeridgian limestone with nothing laid over it. Arcana Cabinet lists the village Chablis, the premiers crus Montmains and Butteaux Vieilles Vignes, and the grands crus Vaudésir and Grenouilles. The range also includes the grand cru Les Clos, Petit Chablis and the other premiers crus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBased in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChablis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFounded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1850; Guillaume Michel, sixth generation, since 2007; around 25 hectares\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrincipal appellations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePetit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru, Chablis Grand Cru\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarming\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoils ploughed; certified HVE3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCellar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel only, no oak at any level\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"louis-michel-chablis-blanc","title":"Louis Michel \u0026 Fils Chablis Blanc","description":"Domaine Louis Michel \u0026amp; Fils, based in the town of Chablis since 1850, gave up barrels at the end of the 1960s and has fermented and raised everything in stainless steel since.

Serve with lobster, scallops or a rich fish in cream sauce.\n\u003cdiv class=\"fiche-enrichie\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"fiche-caracteristiques\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCHABLIS GRAND CRU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEstate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLOUIS MICHEL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBourgogne, Chablis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape variety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarming\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoils ploughed; certified HVE3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fiche-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould this wine be decanted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20 to 30 minutes of aeration in a decanter is recommended for age-worthy white wines, especially younger vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long can this wine be cellared?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis grand cru has an estimated cellaring potential of 10 to 25 years under good storage conditions (cellar at a stable 12-14 °C).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat food pairs well with this wine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt pairs particularly well with: lobster, scallops, fish in a cream sauce.
