2020 Louis Michel Chablis Grenouilles Grand Cru (Pre-arrival)

Wine Advocate/William Kelley 94 – “The 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Grenouilles is also very attractive, revealing aromas of pear, fresh peach, white flowers, citrus blossom, freshly baked bread and nutmeg. Full-bodied, rich and layered, it’s a deep, concentrated wine, with more flesh on its bones than the sensual, refined Vaudésir.”
Burghound (92-94) – “Aromas of green fruit, citrus peel, spice and sea breeze give way to succulent but reasonably refined larger-scaled flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract before concluding in a powerful, driving and equally structured finale. Excellent.”
Jasper Morris (92-94) – “This is slightly more open than the Vaudésir with a fatter fleshier fruit showing on the nose, good concentration. Slightly on the soft side, some characteristic spice, does it have quite enough grip? Yet the finish is persistent.”
