Château Grenouilles Chablis Grand Cru 2021 is a refined 100% Chardonnay sourced from a single 9.38-hectare parcel in the prestigious Grenouilles Grand Cru vineyard, featuring south-facing Kimmeridgian limestone soils with 25- to 50-year-old vines that impart exceptional depth and structure. Hand-harvested grapes from the challenging yet balanced 2021 vintage—marked by cool conditions yielding intense acidity and concentrated fruit—undergo cold static settling, fermentation in a mix of stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels (30% new), and 12-18 months' lees aging to enhance texture and complexity. Certified with HVE3 and Terra Vitis for sustainable viticulture, this production yields a pale gold wine with brilliant reflections and majestic finesse.
Tasting Notes An elegant, mineral-rich white with vibrant citrus and profound complexity, reflecting Chablis's Kimmeridgian terroir. The nose reveals lemon zest, white peach, acacia flowers, and hints of flint, oyster shell, and subtle oak spice. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and harmonious, with crystalline acidity, creamy texture, and flavors of citrus pith, green apple, and chalky minerality, leading to a long, saline finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2021 Château Grenouilles Chablis Grand Cru earned 94 points from Vinous for its concentrated fruit, precise minerality, and elegant structure.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 10-12°C with 30-45 minutes of chilling to unfold aromas. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with lobster, scallops, or aged cheeses. Enjoy now through 2038, during which it will develop enhanced nutty, honeyed, and truffle-like nuances.
