            [Notes1] => A blend of confit blackberry and fresh sea breeze notes: spicy floral, toasted almond, confit lemon and apple. Energetic and chalky in the mouth, this wine is pure and true.
            [Notes2] => The domaine owns four parcels in the Montmain vineyard and they are dotted along a limestone/clay hillside, with few a pebbles on the surface. This is a cool or cold climate, depending on the year, and is known to be susceptible to spring frosts. The slope is gentle with a south east exposure. The vines date from 1983-1987. The vineyard work is done sustainably: ground cover, disbudding, green harvesting and ploughing to avoid the use of herbicides. Harvesting is done by hand.

The 25 hectares encapsulate 3 Grand Crus and 7 Premier Crus as well as Chablis and Petit Chablis terroir. Guillaume Michel runs the domaine now, 80% of the vines are farmed organically, he is strictly 
sustainable in the vineyards with the highest level of HVE certification. 
Biodiversity is vital to their work with hedgerow populations of insects and a population of bees humming through the vineyards. In the winery, the wines are vinified only in stainless steel, using natural yeasts to preserve the 
expression of terroir in its purest form. Without the presence of oxygen in the early stages of their development these wines take longer to express themselves in bottle, but richly reward those who wait.
