Grenouilles. 1960 vines. That's the whole pitch.
On every bottle
Every bottle comes with a card
One side tells you what to eat with it and what it tastes like. The other side is empty — write a note and the bottle becomes a present.
The front
What to eat with it
Two dishes that work with this wine, two flavours you'll notice, and the right temperature to pour it. No wine-speak.
The back
Room for your note
Lines for a name, a few words and your signature. Have it sent straight to someone and they get a card you wrote, not a packing slip.

Why it's on our shelf
Les Grenouilles is the smallest Grand Cru appellation in Chablis. Defaix is one of five owners, with 0.3 hectares of vines planted in 1960 on a dome of full-south Kimméridgian marl. 13 years of age. Fat, round, silky in structure, with a bouquet that opens slowly and stays. Daniel-Etienne recommends caviar or lobster. That's not wrong. A proper glass and an hour without interruption will also do.
