John Gilman 95 pts! The 2023 Chablis “Grenouilles” from Domaine Michel was even a bit younger and less expressive than the Vaudésir. The youthful bouquet reveals scents of apple, pear, chalky soil tones, a touch of flintiness, Chablisienne straw tones and a nice touch of fruit blossoms in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, primary and rock solid at the core, with a fine girdle of acidity, lovely focus and grip and a long, well balanced and nascently complex finish. This will demand plenty of time in the cellar before it starts to stir.
