"Concentration and tension"
"It is more reserved [than the 2015], opening up in the glass with aromas of citrus oil and wet stones. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, textured, and layered, with excellent concentration and tension, ending with a precise and persistent finish." (Wine Advocate 2019 - William Kelley)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The leading producer of Chablis continues to deliver a faithful interpretation of the appellation, thanks to the precise and meticulous work of oenologist Vincent Bartement. As always, the wines are presented with a one-year delay, this year being 2016, a complicated vintage but one in which the Mont-de-Milieu fared very well. Other terroirs that usually perform well for the winery are tasting a little less good, so let's wait for the 2017s!

About the estate:
A cooperative winery founded in 1923, bringing together nearly 300 winegrowers and representing a quarter of the Chablis vineyards, La Chablisienne celebrated its ninetieth anniversary in 2013. It is a modern, high-performance structure that contributes greatly to the reputation of the appellation. The Grenouilles grand cru is one of its flagship wines.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rating (2019 guide) 90/100 (Outstanding wine)
Rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About wine:
La Chablisienne's most serious Chablis village wine is the Chablis Les Vénérables Vieilles Vignes 2017, a cuvée produced from vines averaging 50 years of age. It is only released for sale once it has aged a little: the 2015 vintage is currently on sale. It is more reserved, opening up in the glass with aromas of citrus oil and wet stones. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, textured and layered, with excellent concentration and tension, ending with a precise and persistent finish.

Wine rated (2021 guide) 91/100
Rated estate (2020 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
The largest producer of Chablis is one of the best cooperatives in France, as skilled in business as it is in winemaking. Among the many vintages produced, it is important to know how to sort them, but all the wines today benefit from perfect technical mastery in pressing and aging on lees. The great specialties are the Chablis Vieilles Vignes, which is very consistent, and the premier crus in heavy bottles, which rival the best productions of private cellars, not to mention the famous grand cru Château Grenouilles, which should not be drunk too young! The entry-level wines have improved considerably and have lost the reduction notes that characterized them. La Chablisienne is in great shape!

This cuvée offers consistent quality and is a real pleasure to drink. It is full-bodied on the palate, with fruit that blends well with a lovely minerality.

Note and opinion by Mr. REMY P. Published on 12/26/2020
Quite ordinary for a Chablis. I won't buy it again. Somewhat unpleasant, very "green" aromas on the nose, but the palate is acceptable for a Chablis. However, the quality within the appellation remains fairly average overall. Not worth the price.
