LOUIS MICHEL CHABLIS BUTTEAUX 1ER CRU 2022

LOUIS MICHEL CHABLIS BUTTEAUX 1ER CRU 2022 $47.99  US LOW $50 Reg 90-92 pts Vinous: The 2022 Chablis Butteaux 1er Cru comes from clayey soils that can easily become compacted and like "concrete" in dry conditions. It has a lovely nose with touches of yellow plum and mirabelle, very pure with an underlying mineralité coming through with aeration. The palate is well-balanced with a slightly waxy, pithy entry. It is lightly spiced thanks to a dab of stem ginger, with fine depth and commendable persistence on the finish. This will need just a couple of years in bottle. - By Neal Martin on July 2023   91-93 pts Jasper Morris: Pale lemon yellow. Noticeably saline on the nose, then a dry stony finish, with a raft of white orchard fruit between the two. Medium to full bodied, not too exotic, a quietly classy Chablis. Drink from 2027-2034. Terroir: Kimmeridgian. Left bank. Strong presence of white and blue clay mixed with large blocks of marl oyster fossils. Fairly steep slopes. Very well venti
