Louis Michel walked away from oak barrels decades ago, and Chablis has never sounded so clearly. Everything here—entry-level through grand cru—sees nothing but stainless steel, so what you taste is pure Kimmeridgian limestone and nothing borrowed from a barrel. Grenouilles is the payoff: one of the seven grand crus and among the smallest, a rare parcel low on the grand cru slope, right beside the Serein river. The 2014 was an excellent, tightly wound Chablis vintage, and a dozen years on, this grand cru has unwound into its stride—still cut with that hallmark steely tension but now layered with the honeyed depth that only time gives white Burgundy. A benchmark for what unadorned Chablis can be.

"This is cooler than the Vaudésir with its restrained nose of green fruit, pear, lemon zest and mineral reduction aromas. The palate feel of the medium weight flavors is interesting in that it is at once rich and generously proportioned and somehow manages to be restrained while displaying plenty of minerality and salinity on the powerful if somewhat unfocused finish."

Antonio Galloni

"Explosive aromas of peach, honey, flowers and wild herbs are complicated by a smoky nuance. Fat, saline and rich but with the juicy acidity of the vintage giving shape and lift to the ripe peach and apricot flavors. This powerful, voluminous wine finishes salty and long, with lovely spicy lift. But give it at least a few years in the cellar to smooth out." —Stephen Tanzer

"Superb satsuma and apricot fruit with subtle iodine notes, a chiselled texture and floral finish. This parcel high on the hill often sees a gentle breeze which helps to protect the vines from fungal disease."

Oysters, raw scallops, or roast chicken with lemon and butter.

Tasting Profile

Dry, mineral and precise, with white orchard fruit and a chalky, saline cut, now rounded by a mature, honeyed richness.
