Chablis Grenouilles Grand Cru

Notes - Chablis is in the northern part of Burgundy, half way between Dijon and Paris. The continental climateand the marly limestone soils combine to mould the unique character of Chablis wines. There are 7 “climats” making up the Chablis Grand Cru appellation : Bougros, Les Clos, Blanchot, Valmur, Vaudesir, Preuses and Grenouilles. Those vineyards are all situated on the right side of the Serein River, on the hill. This situation gives a strong and full-bodied character to the wine. This wine is fermented in wooden barrels like oall of Jadot's Grands Crus from the Cote d’Or area, and then aged in barrels for 12-15 months before bottling. This wine has a very nice golden yellow colour. Its bouquet is complex and delicate with flowery aromas. It will be perfect with “haute cuisine”: fish in sauce, white meats and poultry in creamed sauce or even foie gras. This wine can be drunk quite young (4 - 5 years) but can also age well for up to 10 -15 years if cellared correctly.
