Tasting notes
The 2016 Chablis 1er Cru Forêts stands out as one of the highlights of the range in 2016, offering up aromas of white peach, mandarin, Meyer lemon and spring flowers. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, glossy and nicely concentrated, with good cut and tension, concluding with a saline finish. This won't be one of the longest-lived renditions of the Louis Michel Forêts, but it will make for very attractive drinking in the near term.

Healthy light yellow. Ripe, bright aromas of peach and spices. Nicely concentrated wine with good lift and texture to its stone fruit, spice and saline mineral flavors. Finishes spicy, firm-edged and precise, with a touch of minerality and a late hint of pineapple.
