La Chablisienne - Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Léchet 2017

Bettane & Desseauve

About the domain :

Chablis' leading producer always delivers a faithful interpretation of the appellation, thanks to the precise, meticulous work of oenologist Vincent Bartement. As always, the wines are presented with a vintage gap, this year 2016, a complicated vintage but one in which Mont-de-Milieu fares very well. Other terroirs that are usually successful at the winery are tasting a little less well, so let's wait for the 2017s!

About the domain :

La Chablisienne, a cooperative winery founded in 1923, brings together almost 300 winegrowers and represents a quarter of the Chablis vineyards. It celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2013. A modern, high-performance structure that makes a major contribution to the appellation's reputation. The Grenouilles Grand Cru is one of its flagship wines.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

About the wine:

Elegant and fine, the 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Léchet confirms its fine success already noted last year, unfolding in the glass with notes of spring flowers, blackcurrant and citrus oil. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a taut core note and a precise mineral finish.

About the domain :

The largest producer in Chablis is one of France's top cooperatives, as adept at sales as it is at winemaking. Among the many cuvées produced, it is necessary to know how to sort out the best, but all the wines today benefit from perfect technical mastery in pressing and ageing on lees. The great specialties are the Chablis Vieilles Vignes, with its great regularity, and the Premier Crus in heavy bottles, which rival the best productions from private cellars, not forgetting the famous Grand Cru Château Grenouilles, not to be drunk too young! The entry-level wines have made good progress, losing their characteristic notes of reduction. La Chablisienne is in fine form!
