"Aged on the left bank of the Serein, near Les Vaillons, and made from old vines, this wine combines a gourmand side with a beautiful freshness. The nose combines ripe fruit aromas with a hint of vanilla. Round and powerful on the palate, with a fine minerality that ensures a fresh finish". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2015 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)

Domaine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

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 wine:

Aged on the left bank of the Serein, near Les Vaillons, and made from old vines, this wine combines a gourmand side with a beautiful freshness. The nose combines ripe fruit aromas with a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it's round and powerful, while retaining a fine minerality that ensures a fresh finish.

About the domain :

La Chablisienne, a cooperative winery founded in 1923, brings together almost 300 winegrowers and represents a quarter of the Chablis vineyards. In 2013, La Chablisienne celebrated its 90th anniversary. 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.

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!
