2014 Louis Michel Chablis Grand Cru Grenouilles

This is even cooler than the Vaudésir with its restrained nose of green fruit, pear, lemon zest and mineral reduction aromas. The palate feel of the medium weight flavors is interesting in that it is at once rich and generously proportioned and somehow manages to be restrained while displaying plenty of minerality and salinity on the powerful finish. This isn't as fine as the Vaudésir at present though it's important to remember that finesse is usually something that only comes with age for Grenouilles.   Burghound 91-94

($98)(12.8% alcohol): Pale yellow. Inviting aromas of ripe yellow fruits, tangy citrus zest and wild herbs. Larger-scaled and rounder than the foregoing premier crus, with a strong spice character intensifying and lifting the stone fruit flavors. The most voluminous of these 2014s to this point but not yet filled in. Finishes lightly dusty and persistent.  Vinous/Steve Tanzer 90-92
