Domaine is one of the leading family-held estates consistently producing high quality Chablis. Michel’s philosophy "Let the wine make itself, as far as possible". In sticking to this philosophy Jean-Loup Michel uses no barrels. A tank fermented Chablis, aromas of white flesh fruits and sweet floral spice. On the palate apple and citrus flavors with great mouthfeel. Smooth, lingering finish ending with wet stone minerality.

On the lean side of 1er Chablis, nicely delineated with striking acidity. Not showy, but great at the table.
