The regular bottling of Butteaux chez Michel is also nicely expressive out of the blocks and will taste good from the start. The wine’s aromatic constellation offers up a lovely blend of lime, tart pear, anise, chalky minerality, citrus zest and a gentle topnote of white flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and really has a great core of fruit this year, with lovely soil undertow, fine complexity and focus and a long, well balanced and classy finish.

Issuing from clay parcels rich with fossils, Michel’s 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux exhibits aromas of peach, tangerine zest and dried white flowers. More youthfully introverted than Forêts, it is medium to full-bodied, built around a spine of racy acidity and with ample structuring extract, concluding with a saline finish.
