"A very impressive example of Frogs with a great future ahead of it, according to the famous Decanter magazine: an exceptional Chablis Grand Cru!"
"The palate is very concentrated, but also very elegant. Stone-fruit characters combined with citrus acidity and some vigorous mineral notes on the finish add to the freshness. A very impressive example of Grenouilles with a great future ahead. Buy a case and keep it for at least five years. 2025-2034" (Decanter 2023)

Domaine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Chablis' leading producer always delivers a faithful interpretation of the appellation, thanks to the precise, meticulous work of oenologist Vincent Bartement. As always, the wines are presented with a vintage gap, this year 2016, a complicated vintage but one in which Mont-de-Milieu fares very well. Other terroirs that are usually successful at the winery are tasting a little less well, so let's wait for the 2017s!

Domaine noté (guide 2020) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
The largest producer in Chablis is one of France's top cooperatives, as adept at sales as it is at winemaking. Among the numerous cuvées produced, it is necessary to know how to sort out the best, but all the wines benefit today from perfect technical mastery in pressing and ageing on lees. The great specialties are the Chablis Vieilles Vignes, with its great consistency, and the heavy-bottled Premier Crus, which rival the best produced by private cellars, not forgetting the famous Grand Cru Château Grenouilles, not to be drunk too young! The entry-level wines have made good progress, losing their characteristic notes of reduction. La Chablisienne is in fine form!

About the wine:
Complex notes of dried lemon, waxed apple, fennel, wet stones and shells follow through to a medium-bodied, mineral and savory palate. Lots of texture and concentration. For drinking or cellaring.
