Chablis Grand Cru Château Grenouilles, La Chablisienne, 2020
Chablis Grand Cru Château Grenouilles, La Chablisienne, 2020
- White Still
- Chardonnay
Sourced from the Grenouilles vineyard, one of the seven Grand Cru climats in Chablis, this wine showcases the very best of Chardonnay grown in the region's famous Kimmeridgian limestone soils.
The 2020 vintage has excellent aging potential. While it can be enjoyed now for its vibrant fruit and freshness, this wine will benefit from aging over the next 10-15 years, during which time it will develop richer, more complex flavours of hazelnut, honey, and baked apple.
This Grand Cru Chablis pairs wonderfully with refined seafood dishes like oysters, lobster, or scallops, as well as poultry in cream sauce and soft cheeses like brie or camembert.
Drinking window: 2023 - 2040
What the critics say:
"The 2020 Chablis Les Grenouilles Grand Cru has a much more nuanced and sophisticated bouquet than some of its peers, beautifully defined with succinct use of oak. There is real palpable mineralité here—you could be standing on the Chablis hillside overlooking the namesake town. The palate is well-balanced, with a slightly honeyed texture on the entry. It is a fleshy Grand Cru, but it doesn't quite deliver the complexity on the finish that the nose deserves. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting."
