WIne Description:
The domain of Château Grenouilles is an exceptional property and unique in Chablis. It is located on the hillside plot known as “Grenouilles” in the heart of the Grand Crus. In 2003 La Chablisienne inherited this legend.
Grenouilles is one of the rarest Chablis Grand Crus, it forms an unbroken plot of 7.2 hectares, superbly exposed on a South-West slope and facing Chablis village. Comprising a selection of small parcels of old vines which are carefully harvested by hand, Château Grenouilles is a legendary white wine with one of the most glorious expressions of minerality. This great wine reveals its true potential with time thanks to its exceptional ageing quality.
Tasting Note:
The Chateau Grenouilles estate, superbly situated close to the village of Chablis, produces the rarest of Chablis Grands Crus. This truly rare wine, object of the utmost care, possesses an intense, complex nose revealing fresh fruit, delicate floral scents and a hint of spice to the taste it comes through as remarkably pure, fine and elegant, with an extremely long mineral finish. The stuff of legend and, as everything mythic, needing time to evolve
