Once upon a time ... Seven Grands Crus, one Château ... Located in the heart of the Grands Crus hill, at the foot of the Grenouilles hillside, the Château Grenouilles estate is an exceptional and unique set in Chablis. A myth to which La Chablisienne has been the heir since 2003. The 7,2 hectare estate in one piece, magnificently exposed to the southwest facing the village, Grenouille is the rarest of the Chablis Grands Crus. Made from a selection of small plots of old vines and delicately harvested by hand, Château Grenouilles is a legendary white wine, one of the finest expressions of minerality.

Mâcon Villages white La Fougueuse alexis de benoist 2022 75cl

Grape: Chardonnay

Originally from Champagne, Alexis de Benoist settled in 2010 as an artisan winemaker in the family property to reinstate the culture of the vine, interrupted for a century, and reconnect with its history. Since then, the family has regained its title of winemaker.

Today, he cultivates 9,5 hectares of vines spread over two wine regions: Mâconnais and Beaujolais.

The intention is to harmonize the grape variety and its terroir to obtain wines with character. Anxious to preserve the environment and the quality of his wines, Alexis de Benoist has chosen to focus his efforts on the vine, favoring agriculture and a traditional cultural mode linked to observation.

In this 30 to 80 year old vineyard, the harvest is done by hand. The raisins are thus called healthy, when ripe and remain intact on arrival in the vats for vinification in whole bunches.

The choice of traditional vinification and aging aims to preserve the freshness of the fruit, while retaining structure, in order to produce an expressive, balanced and delicate wine for laying down.

His ambition is to return to what he considers the old way of doing things: that is to say winemaking with most of the whole bunches; no addition of sulfur, if possible, until the spring following harvest.

MEURSAULT 1ER CRU GOLD DROP DOMAIN HENRI DARNAT 2018

It is in 2000 that Mr. DARNAT took back with his wife the domain exploited by his family since the middle of the 19eme century.

And it is together that they are at the service of their land and their wines. As worthy successors of their ancestors, the vines are worked by hand, without chemical fertilizers or weedkillers.

Nothing like a good plowing that keeps the soil alive and healthy, and that's why the word terroir makes sense.

Each plot, according to its terroir, its climate, its exposure, gives the wines subtle and different aromas. And it is this diversity, preserved by dynamic soils, so typical of Burgundy, that makes Chardonnay and Pinot so tasty.

The vinification philosophy is that of common sense and patience. Common sense and patience is the courage to wait ...

Wait until the grapes are ripe before harvesting them, even if the weather is scary…?
Wait, let the wine be done, at its own pace, in its cask, do not rush it, let it live and grow to be at its peak on our tables ...
To wait is the experience ...
To wait, it is frequent and thorough tastings of casks ...
To wait is the joy of finally being able to taste them ...
