Domaine Louis Michel & Fils

Six generations of wine-makers in Chablis

louis michelThe Michel family have been cultivating their passion for tradition and the Chablis terroir since 1850.
 
The winery is situated right in the heart of the village, with the 25-hectare vineyard spread over the very first slopes that were discovered by Cistercian monks in the 11th century.
 
40 years ago, the family decided to stop making the wine in wooden barrels, preferring to create clean, pure and precise Chablis without adding artificial woody tastes.
 
Through this philosophy, combined with the limited yields inspired by organic wine-growing techniques, the Domaine has developed a worldwide reputation for fine wine-making in stainless steel tanks.
 
Today, the Domaine is managed by Jean-Loup Michel and his nephew, Guillaume Gicqueau-Michel, who is continuing the family tradition.

    THIS EXQUISITE VAUDESIR FROM LOUIS MICHEL IS ONE OF THE FINEST WE'VE SEEN

      "Mid lemon colour. The bouquet is quite extrovert, a plump fruit. Generous too on the palate, flesh up front, then a more classical white fruit, then a sufficient point of acidity to bring the wine into focus, with good length. Perhaps a five...
