Domaine 47°N3°E - 2022 Chablis

Established at the crossroads of latitude 47° North and longitude 3° East, Guillaume Michaut’s estate cultivates three confidential plots in the heart of Chablis, Burgundy. Guillaume works alone on these vines planted by his grandfather on the slopes of the village of Beines. From a young age Guillaume was among the vines and cellars with his father, learning the trade with a drive so strong that he began formulating his own ideas and styles for the family wines. Branching out on his own in 2018, taking his small share of family vines under his label, Guillaume began establishing his own cuvees in the vast Chablis region. The vineyards under his name represent just over one hectare of vines in total; 0.4 hectares of Chablis in Vau Brou and a 0.6 hectare block in the Premier Cru of Beauroy. Guillaume’s holding was planted in 1980 and sits just outside the town of Beines in the lieu-dit Côte de Savant, with an additional 2 hectares of Petit Chablis added more recently in 2020. 
Planted in 2000 by my father Christian Michaut, this 39 ares vineyard is located in a micro valley in my native village. Like all the vines exploited at Domaine 47°N 3°E, I have been cultivating this vine since 2017 using organic farming techniques in view of obtaining AB approval in three years. Mineral, flowery, with tangy citrus notes, this first vintage, offers a nice representation of my Chablis region. - Clos Cachet, Importer.
