La Chablisienne, a cooperative of 300 producers with 1,200 hectares covering all levels from Petit-Chablis to Grand Cru vineyards, was established in the town of Chablis way back in 1923 at the initiative of Abbé Balitrand. Château Grenouilles is also now a property of La Chablisienne, since 1999.
The Chardonnay grapes are picked from the Grand Cru Les Clos, right by the Serein River. Here, the vines have an average age of thirty years and can benefit from a south-west exposure and clay-limestone soils of the Kimmeridgian. They get some cold decanting before they hit the barrels for some fermentation action. Then, they are left on the lees for a full 14 months.
The Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos de La Chablisienne reveals a bright color with pale golden tones. Its aromatic profile is elegant and fragrant. On the nose, it shows fruity notes of Granny Smith apple, pear, and grapefruit then floral notes of acacia and some slightly spicy nuances. On the palate, it is rich and intense, fruity and juicy with a marked mineral vein and a pleasant creaminess. The finish is long and reveals toasted notes. It pairs perfectly with roasted fish (for example sea bass) but it is exceptional with white meat and in particular rabbit.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
