  • 2014 Domaine Louis Michel Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir - France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru (1/31/2024)
    From 375ml this is in a lovely late adolescent stage as the spiky elements of youth have rounded off, but it’s still full of energy. Lemon zest, apple skin, light dashes of marcona almond and just a hint of cress made for a lovely blend that had just a nip of spice on the finish. Not sure where that spice came from as Michel doesn’t use new oak, but it was there, and it was a lovely counterpoint. Happy to drink this now, and happier to have several more 375s to drink over the coming years.

Big fan of 2014 vintage for white Burg.
I don't think LM uses oak at all,. all stainless I believe.
But I have thought a LM Montmains had some wood-spicey notes even though I knew it was inox.

Exactly. There was even a discussion on Berserkers not long ago, where someone was sure they had changed to new oak!
