(92-94 points) Good depth of lemon colour, the nose shows a startling freshness for a vineyard which can get over fat and spicy, a little touch of its typical bacon fat. Very rich on the second half, fat and fleshy, one of the more powerful wines of the vintage. This is Chablis for rich white meat dishes.

Though the 2018 Grenouilles from Domaine Louis Michel is as ripe as the Vaudésir, it seems just a tad less tropical in personality, as it delivers a refined bouquet of apple, fresh lime, chalky minerality, beeswax, dried flowers and a topnote of citrus peel. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with a very good girdle of acidity, lovely focus and grip and a long, nascently complex and very promising finish. This is lovely juice.

Wafting from the glass with aromas of yellow orchard fruit, peach, white flowers and honeycomb, the 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Grenouilles is medium to full-bodied, textural and enveloping, with a deep and voluminous core of fruit, ripe but racy acids and a long, mineral finish. - WK

The 2018 Chablis Grenouilles Grand Cru has a complex nose with scents of crushed stone, Chinese white tea and light pressed white flower aromas. The palate is well balanced with a viscous opening, one of the most powerful and intense 2018 Chablis that I have tasted, delivering layers of lightly honeyed fruit laced with spice toward the finish. What it lacks in nervosité, it compensates with sheer hubris! -- Neal Martin
