Note di degustazione
The 2021 Chablis Les Grenouilles Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet that feels a bit generic due to the dominance of the wood at the moment. Yes, there is sufficient fruit (just) to soak that up, but I would have dialled it down a notch. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. It is less oaky towards the finish with hints of mint and juniper on the aftertaste. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Chablis Grenouilles Grand Cru has a wonderful, complex and spicier bouquet than Droin's other cuvées: very mineral-driven yet nuanced. Nosing this is like walking into a raucous house party. The palate is exquisitely balanced with a killer line of acidity. Intense, yet amazingly focused with superb persistence and drive on the finish. This fulfills all the promises that it showed in tank last year. Brilliant.
A generous and enveloping wine in this sometimes lean vintage, the 2021 Chablis Grand Cru Grenouilles wafts from the glass with aromas of peach, nutmeg, white flowers and honey, along with some subtle exotic top notes. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural, with racy acids and an expansive finish, it's one of the more gourmand wines in the range.
