La Chablisienne 2006 Les Preuses Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- $67
This is powerful, typical of Les Preuses. White and yellow fruits are important to the palate, but so are rich, honeyed toast, minerality and an opulent, intense concentration. This is impressive, elegance with power, and worth aging for several years.

La Chablisienne 2008 Château Grenouilles Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- $90
La Chablisienne’s flagship wine, from a parcel within the Grenouilles Grand Cru vineyard, has plenty of power, ripe fruit, touches of peach and creamed citrus fruits. A light amount of toast adds to the mix to complete an ageworthy, long-term wine. Imported by multiple U.S. importers.

La Chablisienne 2006 Château Grenouilles Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- $99
The Château Grenouilles vineyard, wholly owned by members of the La Chablisienne cooperative, is in the upper part of Grenouilles Grand Cru. As such, this is major Chablis, a wine that needs maybe 10 years’ aging. But already, you can discern the richness of this wine, its powerful yellow fruits, honey and toast, dense in texture as well as vivid with acidity.

La Chablisienne 2006 Blanchot Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $67
Round, soft, with the fruit dominating its mineral character, this wine shows richness, but doesn’t have huge aging ability. It is more a wine that charms, is open, lively, spice and dried apricots working together with ripe acidity.

La Chablisienne 2008 Les Preuses Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- $70
The fruit here is so pure, its ripe green fruit tied in with minerality, acidity and a lightly cream and toast touch. It has weight, it’s still young. Age for five years.

La Chablisienne 2005 Les Preuses Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $60
This is an elegant, refined style of wine, with all the elements in balance. There is wood, green and white fruits, fresh acidity and repressed power. This is a Chablis style that needs aging—give it at least 5 years.

La Chablisienne 2005 Château Grenouilles Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $90
The 18 acres of Château de Grenouilles are a monopoly of the La Chablisienne cooperative. A huge, ripe wine, very fruity, with yellow peaches. The richness is balanced with a steely core of minerality. Lively acidity finishes this impressive wine.

La Chablisienne 2006 Vaulorent Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $35
A premier cru that could almost be grand cru in quality terms, this is a big, ripe wine, the powerful yellow and green plum flavors spiced with some wood aging. There’s a great, full-bodied explosion of fruit in the mouth, but the mineral edge of the wine suggests aging potential, perhaps even more ageable than the 2005 vintage.
