La Chablisienne : Chablis Grand cru "Château Grenouilles" 2013

A jewel of the cellar, this wine brings together different profiles in perfect harmony: in 2013 it combines sap-like depth, the richness of a texture deftly highlighted by oak, and a persistent, expansive intensity of flavors. It deserves 10 years of cellaring!

The 2013 Chablis Grand Cru Château Grenouilles has a clean and precise, chalky nose that needs a little encouragement from the glass. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, just a dab of lemongrass lending tension but perhaps missing the vigour of La Chablisienne's other, generally very commendable Grand Crus. Drink over the next decade.
