Tasting notes
The 2017 Chablis Grenouilles Grand Cru is very precise and lifted. Bright citrus and floral notes give the 2017 its airy, effortless feel. The 2017 offers superb persistence and tons of class in a super-classic expression of Chablis. White pepper, jasmine and pear add character to the finish. This is such a beautiful and precise wine; it is so lifted and so unique. I love the perfume here.

I certainly misjudged the 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Grenouilles from tank last year, as from bottle this would appear to be one of the high points of the Louis Michel portfolio. Mingling notes of fresh peach, yellow apples and dried white flowers with aromas of honeycomb and fresh pastry, it's full-bodied, layered and textural, with a satiny attack that segues into a deep, concentrated mid-palate, underpinned by racy acids and concluding with a bright finish.
A parcel at the top of the cru that touches Vaudesir, this has a very chalky and stony nose with light yellow peaches, melon and lemons. Very pure and fresh. The palate has such attractive purity and directly fresh, juicy and elegant style. Fresh melon and nectarines sit open and approachable. Drink or hold.
