Reviews of 2005 Michel, Domaine Louis Chablis Montmain Premier Cru Chardonnay

88 points, Stephen Tanzer
July 2007
($37; bottled with a regular cork) Pale yellow. Purer, more minerally nose than the screwcap version, offering lemon and acacia blossom notes. Brisk and firm-edged, with very good cut and intensity to its lemon and mineral flavors. The screwcap bottling seems simple by comparison. Finishes classically dry, with a juicy citric and stone quality and very good cut and length. Here's at least one case where I preferred a standard cork to a screwcap.

90 points, Wine Spectator
January 2007
Fresh and lively, with melon, lemon, white peach and mineral flavors balanced by the smooth texture and bright acidity. Has fine dimension and harmony, followed by a long aftertaste. Drink now through 2018. 500 cases imported. –BS

About 2005 Michel, Domaine Louis Chablis Montmain Premier Cru Chardonnay

About the Winery Michel, Domaine Louis
Chablis was made famous by the merchants of Beaune. In the early eighteenth century, Beaune meant red burgundy; Chablis meant white. This caught on and around the world Chablis became a synonym for dry white wine. Today, Domaine Louis Michel is one of the leading family-held estates in Chablis, not only in terms of production, but also in the reputation they have gained as producers of consistently high quality Chablis. The soils of the area are rich with Kimmeridgian limestone. It is in these soils, which provide a clay-limestone-marl mixture, that the full character of the vine is revealed. The characteristics of the Chablis wines are quite distinct. These wines are regarded for their pale yet bright colors and for being dry yet fresh. In addition they are slightly acidic, lively and elegant. Chablis improves by being kept for at least two years from the vintage date before being drunk. The Michel philosophy is 'Let the wine make itself, as far as possible”. In sticking to this philosophy Jean-Loup Michel uses no barrels. He vinifies strictly in stainless steel vats equipped with a cooling system that allows total control over the temperature, and thus the rate, of the fermentation. His objective is to make wines which retain the distinctiveness of the vineyards from which they are produced. Michel relies entirely on modest yields to produce the concentration and intensity of character for which his wines are known. "Louis Michel has long been the reference point for tank fermented Chablis. I have been a huge admirer of his wines for years. Why? They are perhaps the purest expressions of the stony Chardonnay fruit grown on the limestone slopes of this northern Burgundy appellation." Robert M. Parker, Jr. The Wine Advocate
