2022 Chablis Les Preuses
Buying options
Tasting notes
35+ year old vines, from the middle of Blanchot. The wood does not obstruct, but is it actually necessary? Little white flowers. Superbly fresh finish where the elegance of the vineyard absolutely drives through. I can feel my teeth being cleaned by the crisp mineral finish. Drink from 2028-2038. Tasted Jun 2024.

The 2022 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru has an outstanding nose, very complex with oyster shell and dew-speckled Granny Smith. Real intensity and drive here. The palate is well balanced with a harmonious entry, a fine bead of acidity, just a little spice entering the fray towards the finish. Again, the oak is seamlessly enmeshed here. Absolute class from start to finish.
