2022 Chablis Grenouilles

Only 10 meters separate Grenouilles from Vaudésir, yet the wines are worlds apart. The 2022 Chablis Grand Cru Grenouilles derives from a 0.5-hectare south-facing site at the top of the hill, with more pebbles in the soil. One of the most highly aromatic wines of the Louis Michel portfolio this year, it’s soaring from the glass with a bouquet of peach, beeswax and clear honey, with mildly musky aromatics that give the wine a certain exotic flair. On the palate, it's full-bodied, rich and enveloping, with a textural attack and a long, expressive finish.
