Tasting note

Generous, intense Chablis from the appellation's smallest Grand Cru vineyard, precise and mouthwatering with ripe citrus, balanced by peaches and a touch of cream.

In the press

The 2018 Chablis Grenouilles Grand Cru has a complex nose with scents of crushed stone, Chinese white tea and light pressed white flower aromas. The palate is well balanced with a viscous opening, one of the most powerful and intense 2018 Chablis that I have tasted, delivering layers of lightly honeyed fruit laced with spice toward the finish. What it lacks in nervosité, it compensates with sheer hubris! Drink 2022-2036.

Viticulture

Experience the rare and legendary Grenouilles, Chablis's smallest Grand Cru. With Kimmeridgian terroir, this wine offers a unique blend of power and finesse. South-west exposure, sun, and river breezes create its magic.

Vinification

Grapes hand-harvested in small crates to prevent splitting. Fermented at controlled low temps in stainless steel for aromatic freshness. No oak used; lees contact for complexity. Naturally settled, racked, blended, and bottled for pure, unadulterated flavour.

Food Match

Unlike basic Chablis which performs very well as an aperitif, this wine requires a partner to show at its best, try it with goats cheese and pesto bruscetta, Mediterranean salad with squid and pine nuts, lobster and other shellfish.
