La Chablisienne - Château Grenouilles Chablis Grand Cru 2007
Note: RVF 17/20, Bettane & Desseauve 16.5/20
"More rich and full-bodied than other grands crus. Good dry extract, will develop slowly." (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2011 - Bettane & Desseauve). A monopole within the Grenouilles Grand Cru, always incredibly precise aromatically. The rarest of the Chablis Grands Crus!

Food and wine pairings
Un vin "nec plus ultra" qui le prédestine aux accords de grande classe : homards, langoustes (grillés ou en sauce blanche). Sa minéralité et sa vivacité donnent aussi une belle réplique à l'iode des huîtres...<br/> <br/>
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.

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!

Note and opinion by Mr. ERIC G. Published on February 23, 2013
Monumental power, like a Corinthian column. Massive in its texture and richness, yet very subtle with primary aromas of verbena and lemon that bring freshness, followed by lime blossom and hawthorn. Surprising for those unfamiliar with a great Chablis, but certainly remarkable for years to come.
