This is the flagship wine of La Chablisienne, which owns 75% of the grand cru Grenouilles. Yellow-peach and apricot flavours are intensely ripe yet filigreed by veins of graphite and smoke. Earthen and a bit tense in youth, this concentrated, complex wine needs time to open.

Chablisienne - Chateau Grenouilles - Chablis - Grand Cru

If you're a wine enthusiast, you've probably heard of Chablis, the famous wine region in Burgundy, France. And if you're looking for a truly exceptional Chablis, look no further than Chateau Grenouilles - a Grand Cru produced by Chablisienne.

Chateau Grenouilles is a wine that truly embodies the essence of Chablis. It's made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, which are grown in the Grand Cru vineyard of the same name. This vineyard is located on a hillside overlooking the Serein River, and its unique terroir gives the wine its distinctive character.

So, what can you expect from a glass of Chateau Grenouilles? Well, first and foremost, you'll notice its beautiful pale gold colour. On the nose, you'll detect aromas of white flowers, citrus, and a hint of minerality. On the palate, the wine is crisp and refreshing, with flavours of lemon, green apple, and a subtle nuttiness. The finish is long and elegant, with a touch of salinity that's typical of Chablis.

But Chateau Grenouilles isn't just a delicious wine - it also has a fascinating history. The vineyard was first planted by the monks of the nearby Abbey of Pontigny in the 12th century. Over the centuries, it changed hands several times, and was eventually acquired by Chablisienne in 1973. Since then, the winery has worked tirelessly to preserve the unique character of the vineyard, and to produce wines that truly reflect the terroir.

So, where should you enjoy a glass of Chateau Grenouilles? Well, it's a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes. Try it with seafood, especially oysters or scallops, to bring out its minerality. It also goes well with poultry, particularly chicken or turkey, and can even stand up to richer dishes like foie gras. Of course, it's also delicious on its own, as an aperitif or with a cheese plate.

In conclusion, Chateau Grenouilles is a wine that's truly worth seeking out. Its unique terroir, combined with the expertise of Chablisienne, produces a wine that's both delicious and fascinating. Whether you're a seasoned wine conno

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
