La Chablisienne - Chablis Grand Cru Le Fief des Grenouilles 2007
16/20
RVF
Notes: Bourgogne Aujourd'hui 17/20, RVF 16/20
Le Fief des Grenouilles expresses itself with very subtle notes of white flowers, light honey, and orchard fruits. After aeration, the aromatic intensity deepens, complemented by a touch of sweet vanilla. Beautiful tension on the palate, accompanied by ripe fruit, very well-structured with depth. Everything one expects from a Grand Cru!

Food and wine pairings
A savourer sur des 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/>
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
Chablis’s leading producer consistently delivers a faithful interpretation of the appellation, thanks to the precise and meticulous work of winemaker Vincent Bartement. As always, the wines are released with a one-year delay; this year’s 2016 vintage was a challenging one, but the Mont-de-Milieu terroir fared very well. Other terroirs that the winery usually handles well taste a bit less impressive; let’s wait for the 2017s!

Wine rated (2010 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2020 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
The largest producer of Chablis is among the best cooperatives in France, demonstrating equal skill in business and winemaking. With so many cuvées produced, it can be difficult to choose, but all the wines now benefit from flawless technical expertise in pressing and aging on the lees. The standout specialties are the consistently excellent Chablis Vieilles Vignes and the Premier Crus in heavy bottles, which rival the finest offerings from private estates, not to mention the famous Grand Cru Château Grenouilles—which should not be drunk too young! The entry-level wines have improved significantly and have shed the reductive notes that once characterized them. La Chablisienne is in fine form!
