Offering up aromas of orange oil, white peach, jasmine, oyster shell, wet stones and struck flint, the 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses is full-bodied, ample and layered, with terrific concentration, racy acids and a long, intensely mineral finish. As ever, this wine is more floral-mineral than it is fruity, standing out for its ethereal personality in contradistinction with the blockier, more muscular Les Clos.

A little more to the colour, oily and saline at the same time. Perhaps yellower fruit. Delicious body, and actually more harmonious on the palate than the nose suggested. More white fruit in the end than yellow, and with a wonderful weight! Drink from 2028-2040. Tasted Jun 2022.

From stony, pebbly soils, this is a precise, reserved Les Preuses which slowly builds on the palate, revealing a rich structure and increased mineral notes following a delicate start. A classic grand cru but keep it for several years before opening.
