Grossot, Chablis 2020

90 points Wine Spectator
"A complex version, with apple, lemon, and oyster shell flavors shaded by a hint of oak. Succulent and balanced, with "drink me" appeal."

Vinous Reverie Notes
The Grossots take great pride in their Chablis, which comes from very well-placed sloping vineyards in the communes of Fleys, Chichee and Fontenay. They are able to produce such an exceptionally rich and expressive Chablis because their grapes attain extra maturity, due to the excellent vineyards and their practice of keeping yields low. The soils are all Kimmeridgian limestone-clay with stones and sea-shell fossils. The Grossots usually harvest their Chablis grapes beginning in the third week of September, when the fruit has reached an optimal balance of sugar, acidity and pH levels. The wine is aged on its lees in tanks for one year. Tasting Notes: The Chablis is packed with flavors of ripe pear, citrus, honey and minerals, and has a long, refreshing finish.
