• Grenouilles 0.54 hectares 
• Les Clos 0.50 hectares

TASTING NOTE

Chablis Grand Cru is Chardonnay in perhaps its purest form - delicately floral, smokey, developing both power and finesse, and the maximum expression of the stoney, mineral character which is the hallmark of real Chablis. Each of the individual Grand Cru vineyards adds an extra dimension, which reveals itself given sufficient time.

• Vaudésir has very ripe fruit flavours, roasted and sweetened notes, and is powerful and round.
• Grenouilles again has roasted notes, iodine, mineral, woody and a clean, earthy character.
• Les Clos is always complex, deep and powerful, with spicey, floral and beeswax notes.
