Domaine Louis Michel & Fils Butteaux Vieilles Vignes 2022

94 points Andy Howard, MW (Decanter): "Restrained and with notable concentration, this is an intense premier cru with great potential. Notes of peach fruit cut with zesty lime citrus. Very fine. From 68-year-old vines on very dense, white clay soils which are like concrete when dry, heavy when wet. Drinking Window: 2025-2032. (10/18/23)"94 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "Guillaume Gicqueau-Michel calls this parcel "extremely Kimmeridgian", and its resulting wine has a pleasantly gritty, chalky dryness. Flavors of fennel, green gages, seashore and cheese rind add intensity and complexity on the palate. The acidity grips the dense palate and drags the flavors into a solid finish. (Jan 2024)"92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Chablis Butteaux Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru comes from vines around 70 years old, only slightly older than the regular cuvée, but on different soils (white clay rather than brown with high fossil content). It is usually bottled slightly later. T
