Louis Michel Chablis Forets Premier Cru 2019

Honestly, as a wine retailer, this stuff scares me. When I hit something like this at this price, I go a bit crazy. I’ve been drinking (or at least opening) a bottle every night for the last 3 nights. I can’t stop drinking it.

Pure, so balanced, the lemon oils and round bread flavors, the zippy minerality, great fruit AND tension…MAN! Get some! If that doesn’t get your blood pumping considering this wine isn’t $60 or $150, we don’t know what will! The Forets cru is located on the western side of the Serein river in Chablis, on a south-facing hill of high-quality Kimmeridgian soils just a few miles southwest of the village of Chablis. It is typically elegant, steely, mineral and precise, as exemplified by this wonderful Louis Michel bottling. You will fall in love with it. $37.95...we still can’t believe it!

PAIRING IDEAS: We did this with a nice fresh piece of seared halibut that we rubbed with a cool new discovery – Little Green Cyclo Lemongrass and Basil Rub. Fantastic with a salad and a HUGE glass of this!

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: This wine is rocking and it’s a beautiful, sunny day in Napa! We’re vibing along to some White Stripes' “Icky Thump”
