Stéphanie et Vincent Michelet Chablis · Burgundy, France · 2022
The Moment
This is the bottle you open when you want something classic — but not austere. When the mood calls for brightness and ease, with just enough depth to keep the table engaged.
What It Feels Like
White flowers and fresh citrus rise first — lime, bergamot, and lemon peel — followed by subtle notes of pear and a hint of apricot warmth from the sunny 2022 vintage. On the palate, the wine is supple and inviting, balancing ripe fruit with a clean, integrated minerality drawn straight from Chablis’ limestone soils. The finish is crisp and refreshing, leaving a stony, textbook Chablis impression that feels complete and satisfying.

Why We Love It
The 2022 vintage brings a little extra sunshine to Chablis, and this bottle captures that balance beautifully — ripe without heaviness, mineral without severity. It’s a confident, crowd-friendly expression of place that works just as well on its own as it does at the table.
