A serious, mineral Chablis Premier Cru with depth, drive and classic Vaulorent power. Why You’ll Love It Louis Michel & Fils Vaulorent Chablis Premier Cru 2022 is one of the estate’s most compelling expressions combining Chablis’ hallmark purity with extra concentration and structure.

Palate: Taut and layered, showing citrus and stone fruit wrapped around a firm mineral core and incisive acidity. Finish: Long, dry and chalky with saline length and quiet power. Serving Suggestions Serve at 10–12°C. Allow time in the glass to reveal additional mineral depth and aromatic detail. About the Winery / Region Louis Michel & Fils is a historic family estate founded in 1850, now led by the sixth generation in Chablis. The domaine is renowned for its oak-free philosophy fermenting and ageing exclusively in stainless steel to preserve freshness and the expression of Chablis’ Kimmeridgian limestone soils. The Vaulorent Premier Cru vineyard lies on the right bank of the Serein River, directly adjacent to the grand cru slope. Its position and soils give wines of greater intensity and structure, often described as grand cru-like in character. In 2022, the site delivers clarity, energy and depth, a classic, age-worthy Vaulorent in the Louis Michel style. Cellaring Potential Excellent longevity.
