Delicious, like a nice pinot, not peppery — 4 years ago
Sweeter than expected, but it tasted wonderfully fruity. A bit of syrupiness to it, but in a good way. — 5 years ago

Fine and concentrated cuvée Magnum format. Unfiltered?
Deep purple dress. Nose made of fruits and spices, discreet oaky notes. Deep, aerial black cherry and flowers aromas in mouth with very fine tannins. We feel the aromatic concentration of old vines. Notes of evolution that pinote. It's a bit greasy and pleasant. Raised on les lies? Acidity contained. Wine at its peak, for a few more years.
Cuvée fine et concentrée en format Magnum. Non filtré?
Robe pourpre profonde. Nez fruits et épices, notes de fûts discrètes et fondues. Bouche aérienne et profonde sur des tanins très fins. On sent la concentration aromatique des vieilles vignes. Plutôt cerise noire et fleurs
Notes d’évolution qui pinotent. Côté un peu gras assez plaisant. Elevé sur lies? Acidité contenue. Vin à son apogée, pour quelques années encore. — 4 years ago
Wow! Beajoulis is so under rated, this wine drinks like Burgundy. Yes it is light and lacks some tannins but the core is there and for $20 I’d snatch it up if I could - wine access for the win!!! — 5 years ago

Accessible. Good with or without food. The wine equivalent of an after school snack. Bright and crisp. Notes if apples and green peppers. — 6 years ago
Tasting notes said clam shells and wet pebbles with lemon pith and a hint of yellow apple, and that’s spot on really. — 7 years ago
This is such an enjoyable, easy to drink but full of complexity Loire white. I felt like Anton Ego in Ratatouille taking the first bite and being transported back—straight back to the Loire valley on a crisp day, not too hot and not too cold with just a touch too much humidity that you notice it, but it’s not unpleasant. It’s a journey to France amongst the grasses and the hills in a bottle. — 4 years ago
Nutty with great salinity. Melon and citrus notes. Moderate plus acid. Would be great with shellfish. — 5 years ago

One of the absolute best white wines I’ve had so far this year to date was this extraordinary Grand Cru Chablis from 2006. I think we caught this wine at the absolute perfect time to drink. Grenouilles is French for frog, more on that below.

The color on this was perfect, a vibrant light gold and yellow, watery at the rim. The nose was also in perfect condition, notes of flint, crushed oyster shell, a touch of smoke, allied with fresh Asian pear and crisp Fuji apple. The wind absolutely jumped out of the glass, the nose was so pronounced. The palage took it another level up with a perfect expression of what the nose was giving, all the while wrapped up in a perfect medium bodied majorly dense and complex wine. Medium plus acidity and very long on the finish.

Formed in 1923, la Chablisienne is a co-op winery based of course in Chablis. As I have gone deeper into the rabbit hole of wine I tend to find these amazing co-ops which I wish I could have known about earlier as the wines are so impeccably good and priced so reasonably well. They produce something like 30 different wines off from the Chardonnay grape and all from vineyards within the AOC borders of Chablis.

The Grenouilles climat is the smallest of the 7 Chablis Grand Cru climat at 9.38 hectares. It has soils that consist of upper and middle layers of Kimmeridgian, alternating with limestone and marl that are studded with fossilised seashells.

The first vines to grow at the bottom of this hill were close to the River Serein and frogs no doubt came to keep the winegrowers company. — 6 years ago

Unripe Strawberries, earth and a load of tannins. Medium bodied, medium finish. — 4 years ago
