95 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Energetic and complete, Grenouilles presents a superb intensity of flavors in the preserved brightness of its fruit: its haunting finish evokes hot stone. (2022)"
95 points/'Cellar Selection,' Wine Enthusiast: "This is the flagship wine of La Chablisienne, which owns 75% of the grand cru Grenouilles. Yellow-peach and apricot flavors are intensely ripe yet filigreed by veins of graphite and smoke. Earthen and a bit tense in youth, this concentrated, complex wine needs time to open. Approach from 2025. It should improve through 2040 and hold further. Alcohol 13%. (Mar 2022)"
94 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Whereas the other wines are made from fruit belonging to La Chablisienne’s adherents, the co-operative actually purchased their significant holding (7.20ha) of Grenouilles. The vines date from 1945 up to 2007, though the youngest have not been included in the blend. Otherwise all is made as one wine. 30% is made in barrel, the rest in tank. Pale colour with lime notes. The slightly cheesy bouquet, soon blows off, revealing, some of the classic spice from this vineyard. Trenchant cut at the finish, fine opulence of white fruit through the middle, a complete rendition of Grenouilles. Very impressive weight and length. (Jul 2020)"
