We were able to obtain a small allocation of the 2021 Louis Michel Clos at our same low pricing after it sold out! 2021 is an excellent vintage for Louis Michel, and although the crop was on the smaller side, with yields down, there is no loss of quality. The 2021 vintage of Les Clos is a stunning showing, and after a few extra years in the bottle, it is starting to show nicely. However, it is only going to get better with time and has the potential to age for another 10+ years. Considered the best Grand Cru vineyard of Chablis, Louis Michel's small plot was planted in 1968 and produces an incredibly pure wine with excellent transparency, good fruit ripeness, and a mineral presence. This is one of the best buys for Clos this vintage and is overall an exceptional example of this great vineyard. We have a very limited amount available, and it's a top showing from one of the top Les Clos of the vintage.
Decanter (Andy Howard MW) 96 points! "TOP QUALITY PRODUCER Clean, fresh, driven and with great purity, this balances soft, ripe peach fruit, a dash of lemon/lime zest and a saline character on the very long finish. Super concentrated, elegant and precise, this restrained, less showy, Les Clos will be exceptional in 5-10 years. Louis Michel's plot lies in the western part of Les Clos, halfway up the slope on blue clay soils."
Jasper Morris MW (Inside Burgundy) 93-95 points! "Pale lemon colour. The bouquet is the most backward to date, but with a measure of steel which promises well. Very good tension, pure and clean white fruit with grand cru grip, and fine length, especially for the vintage. One to look out for. Powerful in a compact style!"
Burghound 92-94 points! "Firm reduction pushes the underlying fruit to the background though it does seem ripe. More interesting are the impressive dense, powerful and muscular broad-shouldered flavors that possess an almost opulent mid-palate thanks to the abundance of dry extract that does an excellent job of buffering the firm acid spine shaping the compact, moderately austere and serious finale. This is also excellent thought it's also very backward and a wine that will need at least moderate patience"
