Chablis 1er Cru Montmains, Louis Michel

Note:

The Chablis Montmain exhibits strong smoky scents and a beautifully ripe, concentrated, highly structured yet thick and rich medium to full body. Complex layers of chalk dust, minerals and traces of honey are found in this wine`s exciting flavour profile. Anticipated maturity: 2000 2006. Michel was so impressed with the health and acidity levels of his grapes that he decided, for the first time, to age his Chablis on their fine lees. He feels this technique brought additional richness and body to the wines. Even though he is (justifiably) quite proud of his 1996s, he feels he might have been able to produce better wines if he could have extended their elevage beyond the scheduled shipping date imposed by his US importer.
