B‑21 website is a breeze to navigate so I ultimately found exactly what I wanted at a very competitive price point. The case I ordered earlier this week is scheduled to arrive Friday.

I recently dined at a Greek restaurant and fell in love with this wine. looked everywhere for it and found it here at B‑21. I bought a case and bonus, they offered free shipping (their $12.00 shipping fee isn't bad either for less than a case). The best part was that it was delivered a day earlier than expected. Would definitely buy here again. Thank you B‑21 for great service.

I have been buying ~2 cases of wine per month for 5‑6 years from B‑21, and there has yet to be a problem with a single bottle. The orders are always filled correctly and the wine itself is always in good shape ‑ a great company.

2022 Louis Michel Vaulorent 1er Cru (750ml)

Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy, France

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

From “a year to snap up” according to Decanter’s Andy Howard, these highly rated 2022 Chablis selections from Louis Michel are among Burgundy’s most outstanding values, a full range of “well-crafted Chablis from top to bottom” according to Vinous critic Neal Martin affordably priced for stocking up.

Perhaps “the most underrated of Chablis’s larger domaines” according to the Wine Advocate’s William Kelley, the family-owned Domaine Louis Michel & Fils has been crafting Chablis for nearly two centuries, forgoing the use of barrels in favor of stainless-steel tanks to create a pure expression of each vineyard and becoming “the reference point for tank-fermented and matured Chablis” according to critic Kelley. Sourced from 25 hectares of organically farmed vineyards most of which are 1er Cru, sixth generation winemaker Guillaume Michel ferments with native yeasts and ages the wines on the fine lees for extended periods in stainless steel, developing a rich, creamy texture that balances the mineral-driven acidity. Sourced from across six parcels planted in a mix of Kimmeridgian and Portlandian subsoils, the appealing entry level 92 pt. 2022 Louis Michel Chablis is “quite elegant” according to Neal Martin of Vinous, boasting crisp, aromatic fruit with a refreshing, saline-tinged finish, a delicious pour to enjoy over the next few years. Sourced from vines around 70 years of age, the “excellent” 92 pt. 2022 Louis Michel Butteaux 1er Cru balances a “crisp line of acidity” on a saline, mineral finish according to Neal Martin and is “certainly one of the highlights” of the 2022 releases, while the impressive 93 pt. 2022 Louis Michel Forets 1er Cru sourced from a single parcel on limestone soils offers “well balanced” satiny fruit and lower acidity that makes it immediately accessible. Burghound calls the enticing 95 pt. 2022 Louis Michel Montee de Tonnerre 1er Cru “refined” and “delicious” while Neal Martin declares it “one of the finest Premier Crus from Louis Michel,” earning the #3 spot on Decanter’s Top 1er Cru Chablis of the vintage. Called “a Vaillons of finesse” by Burghound, the elegant 91 pt. 2022 Louis Michel Vaillons 1er Cru offers “good depth and crisp acidity” according to Neal Martin, while summing up the harmonious 93 pt. 2022 Louis Michel Vaulorent 1er Cru as “excellent," revealing crisp, fresh fruit with racy acidity on an intense and lingering finish.

Crafted as “pure and unadorned in style and consistently high in quality” according to the Wine Advocate’s William Kelley, these highly rated selections from Louis Michel represent the “purest expression of Chardonnay” according to the Wine Enthusiast’s Roger Voss, appealing equally to fans of classically styled Chablis and lovers of vineyard-expressive White Burgundy seeking outstanding value.

93D

Michel notes that his plot of Vaulorent lies on relatively thick clay soils; certainly plenty of force and substance is in evidence. A very complete example of this top premier cru, with excellent acidity, crispness and tension. Plenty of concentration and ageing potential. A marked flinty edge to finish.

93 points, Andy Howard, Decanter (Oct 2023)
