Louis Michel Chablis Premier Cru Butteaux Vieilles Vignes 2023
DOZEN: $1,416.00 or $118.00 each
The 2023 Chablis Butteaux Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru comes from a single parcel of 65-year-old vines. It undergoes a year longer élevage than the regular cuvée. It has a lifted bouquet of citrus fruit, wild heather and orange rind. The palate displays good concentration and intensity. NEAL MARTIN
As ever, bottled later than the younger-vine cuvée of Butteaux, the 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux Vieilles Vignes exhibits aromas of tangerine, orange oil, mirabelle plum and beeswax. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a generous core of fruit, tangy acidity and a long, saline finish. It has turned out particularly well. WINE ADVOCATE
Sea-shells and minerality - that's a nose that beckons. Hmm, in the mouth we have something more architectural. Finishing wide and quite generous today - still such a baby - it will certainly be excellent… BILL NANSON, Burgundy Report
