This Chablis Cote de Savant gives a fairly rich and persistent aromatic character, with notes of ripe fruit. Gourmet, full-bodied with subtle iodine notes with some hints of wood, this first vintage offers a beautiful step into the terroir of Chablis Premier Cru.
Standing at the crossroads of latitude 47° North and longitude 3° East our latest Chablis producer, Guillaume Michaut, cultivates three confidential plots in the heart of Chablis. Planted in 2000 by my father Christian Michaut, this 39 ares vineyard is located in a micro valley in my native village. Like all the vines exploited at Domaine 47°N 3°E, I have been cultivating this vine since 2017 using organic farming techniques in view of obtaining AB approval in three years.
An airy width of aroma – the barrel present for sure but initially less intrusive vs the ‘Cairn’ – but more stable. In the mouth this vibrates with energy – cushioned by the barrel today. Broad – panoramic – finishing with slightly sweet barrel notes to the end. It has a delicious flavour energy and is certainly excellent – potentially a great one with time.
