Michel Gahier, Arbois Blanc, "Lou", 2022 750 ml

From 45-year-old Chardonnay vines in Montigny-lès-Arsures, recently acquired from his brother-in-law, Lou is aged two years in topped-up demi-muids like Les Crets—but shows more intensity, with bold, fruit-driven minerality and a vibrant, focused finish.
