Description

An elegant and complex Chablis Grand Cru

The estate

Founded in 1923 following the initiative of Abbé Balitrand, the winemaking cooperative La Chablisienne is the most important producer of Chablis wines. From Petit Chablis, to Chablis, Chablis Premiers Crus and Chablis Grands Crus, and the wines from the legendary Château Grenouille, La Chablisienne produces around thirty different vintages and crus which enable lovers of great Burgundy wines to discover the multiple profiles of Chablis wines.

The vineyard

‘’Château Grenouilles" is a Chablis wine made from a 7.2-hectare single vineyard. The vines enjoy an ideal south-western exposure, facing the village of Chablis, on the right bank of the Serein river. The vines are 40 years old on average and are planted on Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils.

The wine

The legendary Château Grenouilles Grand Cru is the rarest of the Chablis Grands Crus. This legendary white wine offers one of the finest expressions of the Chablis terroir’s minerality. This wine benefits from an exceptional ageing potential which enables it to evolve beautifully over time.

Vinification and ageing

The grapes used to make La Chablisienne's Chablis Grenouilles Grand Cru are rigorously selected and harvested by hand. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place in barrels and vats.
This Chablis Grand Cru is aged in vats and barrels for 14 months.

The blend

Chardonnay (100%).

Chablis Grand Cru "Château Grenouilles" 2020 by La Chablisienne: Characteristics and tasting tips

The tasting

Colour
Brilliant and showcasing a beautiful pale gold hue, this wine is adorned with subtle silver reflections.

Nose
The fresh and elegant nose opens with floral (jasmine, honeysuckle) and citrus fragrances. With aeration, the bouquet becomes more complex and reveals delicious notes of vanilla, brioche and slightly stewed fruit.

Palate
The ample and structured palate seduces with its balance and aromatic richness. The finish blends toasted notes with a suave salinity.

Food and wine pairing

Flambéed langoustines, scallop tartar or carpaccio, roasted pike perch fillet or even a dessert (millefeuille) will complement this great white Burgundy wine.
