Product notes

On the right bank of the Serein. Municipality of Chablis. Between the Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir and Valmur. Southwest exposure. The first vines at the bottom of this hill were near the river, where amphibians came to keep company with the winegrowers.

Production notes

Static cold settling before the start of fermentation. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in barrels and vats. Duration 14 months on fine lees, in vats and barrels.

Tasting notes

Pale gold color, limpid and brilliant wine. Fine, elegant and fresh nose with notes of white flowers and a light woody note. With ventilation, becomes more intense and pure with a beautiful mineral freshness. Full and complex on the palate, the volume is remarkable with a fresh palette of dried fruits and ripe fruits. Pairings with lobster, foie gras and caviar.

ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA, March 2022 (Vintage 2018)

This is the flagship wine of La Chablisienne, which owns 75% of the grand cru Grenouilles. Yellow-peach and apricot flavors are intensely ripe yet filigreed by veins of graphite and smoke. Earthen and a bit tense in youth, this concentrated, complex wine needs time to open. Approach from 2025. It should improve through 2040 and hold further.

(Vintage 2018)

Vin énergique et complet, Grenouilles présente une superbe intensité de saveurs dans l’éclat préservé de son fruit. Sa finale lancinante évoque la pierre chaude.
