Cellar for up to 10 years or more. No need to decant before serving. Château Grenouilles is a gorgeous light gold in the glass, with a strong floral nose of acacia, jasmine, apple, citrus fruits, and stiff sea air. Its mineral side grows in intensity as it aerates, revealing classic Chablis notes. The Chardonnay grapes were plucked from just outside the village of Chablis, from the upper section of the Grenouilles Grand Cru vineyard. La Chablisienne is a cooperative winery, founded by Abbé Balitrand and a league of Burgundy winegrowers in 1923. For the last 100 years, the winery has played an essential part in forming the Chablis style, particularly since the 1950s, when the winery began to ferment the grapes’ juice, or must, itself, rather than the growers. Grenouilles is one of the finest vineyards in Chablis, growing on soils of limestone and marl. Château Grenouilles exhibits a remarkably full body for a white wine. As a Grand Cru Chablis, it can age in a cellar for 10 years, or slightly more. On the palate, look for yellow fruits, citrus, clean minerality, and riper notes of caramel and dried fruit. These evolve into hints of spice and coffee on the finish. It is a complex, layered drink, perfect for lovers of sophisticated whites. The fruits spent 20 months ageing in tanks and barrels before release. Consider pairing it with foie gras, light seafood, or salmon.
