Note di degustazione
The 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses is, if anything, even more electric than the formidable Valmur, wafting from the glass with notions of citrus oil, freshly baked bread, oyster jus and wet stones. Full-bodied, satiny and chiseled, it's racy and intense, with a bright spine of acidity and a long, intensely saline finish.

The holding is in two parts, one just under Bougros with lots of clay which makes wines with serious ageing potential. The average yield is 35 hl/ha, less than elsewhere. They started to replant here in 1999 when they arrived. So about 50% of the vines were planted in the 1960s and 1970s and the rest were planted in 1999 and 2012 (on the steep part) so average age of their holdings here is about 35 years. Light nose. Delicate texture. More elegant than some of its stablemates. Impressively long and smoother-textured. Still unformed but very promising. Classic. (JR)
The 2020 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru comes from 2.5 hectares of vines in two locations, one east-facing and one southwest-facing. It has quite a deep, intense nose featuring lemon zest, crushed stone, linden and touches of citrus peel. The cohesive palate is smooth and harmonious with fine salinity, if maybe not quite building on its initial promise, as the finish pulls up just a little short compared to the Bougros. Still, this should age well in bottle.
