Chablis Grand Cru Grenouille 2020, Domaine Testut

Domaine Testut

Wow! – a powerful and ripely appealing bouquet, rich and deeply satisfying. Restraint is apparent in the mouth, however, with subtle oak coating the ripe fruit and layered complex minerality and steely acidity, the wine offers layers of apple skin, saline, chalky minerality, lime and white peach, elegantly bound in the tight structure. The wine almost grows and spreads across the palate, showing immense structure and tension. Wunderbar! Wow! – a powerful and ripely appealing bouquet, rich and deeply satisfying.

Try with sauteed frogs legs with garlic butter.

90% of this wine is fermented in steel tank with the remaining 10% in 600 litre oak barrels, all of 3 years old to minimize the oak flavours but to maximise the oxidative aspect.
