Tasting notes
A quarter century after the harvest, the 2000 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses remains full of life, even in this generous vintage. The bouquet unfurls with aromas of sweet citrus oil, beeswax and warm stones, mingled with notes of iodine, mocha and a top note of gunflint. Full-bodied, deep and fleshy, it delivers an ample core of fruit framed by tangy acidity, with fine tension and an oceanic, saline finish. Expressive and fully mature—yet free of any trace of maderization—now is an opportune moment to drink it.

(the second bottling) Very pale color. Extraordinary nose reminded me of a great riesling from schist soil: pineapple, wet stone, iodine, spring flowers, even a hint of petrol. Compellingly rich and ripe but extremely dry, with great breadth and depth of flavor. Coats the palate with liquid stone. Builds slowly and goes on and on; all minerals and white flowers today, not yet fruity at all. A wine of great precision and suavity, but with its richness and sweetness it comes across as less sharp than the Forest. I couldn't get this wine out of my head on my drive to Paris the next day and on the flight home: is that long, or what?
