Château Grenouilles Chablis Grand Cru in HK

Grenouilles is one of Chablis' seven Grand Cru vineyards – and one of the rarest: the rectangular vineyard directly on the Serein River comprises only about four hectares. What grows here is Kimmeridgian limestone in its most concentrated form.

La Chablisienne is the most important cooperative in the appellation, founded in 1923, and today comprises around 300 winegrowing families with access to the region's best vineyards. The cooperative works with precision when producing Grenouilles: twenty months of aging on the fine lees , partly in wood, partly in steel – a balance that promotes both structure and freshness.

In the glass, it displays a golden yellow color with green reflections. The nose opens with white peach, beeswax, and a hint of roasted almond – the oak is noticeable but never overpowering. On the palate, a dense, oily texture unfolds, beneath which lies the typical Chablis tension: citrus peel, flint, and a long, salty finish with a touch of smoky spice.

Serving temperature 10–12 °C. Drinking window 2025–2033. Pairs well with lobster, scallops with butter sauce, turbot or a mature Époisses.
