Left Grand Cru Chablis

Vincent Dauvissat (and father René) have become what many consider to be the top domaine in Chablis (along with Raveneau) through very hard, meticulous work in the vineyard and the cellar. Of course it doesn't hurt that they also possess some of the best parcels within the best Premier and Grand Cru vineyards.

All their wines are fermented in tanks and spend a year settling there before being carefully transferred to oak barrels, mostly neutral, for additional aging. This adds a richness, depth and complexity to the mineral, saline characters that their terroirs produce.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 93
"An airy, elegant and cool nose displays aromas of lemon-lime, white peach and sea shore whiffs. The incredibly refined yet highly seductive medium-bodied flavors possess excellent mid-palate density while delivering superb length on the sneaky long finish. This isn't entirely classic but it's clearly still very young and the natural class of a fine Preuses is very much in evidence." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 96
"(13.2% alcohol): Pale, bright yellow. Very pure, subtle, fresh aromas of jasmine, white pepper and tarragon. Wonderfully silky, ripe and classically dry in the mouth, with its lemon drop and floral flavors communicating a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Really titillates the taste buds on the very long, subtle whiplash of a finish. Like the Forest, this stands out for its grain and purity." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 94
"From bottle, the 2016 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses is the most reticent wine in the cellar, unfurling slowly with aromas of orange blossom, oatmeal, wet stones and honeycomb. On the palate, it's full-bodied, tense and stony, with excellent depth and dimension. It's not as lively or intense as the 2017 rendition, but it's a very serious wine that will demand some bottle age before it reveals all its plenitude." -Robert Parker

Decanter

D 96
"The Preuses was, appropriately, quite closed when I tasted it, opening in the glass with a reticent but profound bouquet of wet stones, white flowers, iodine, oyster shell and a subtle hint of apple. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, multidimensional and concentrated, with electric energy, a lovely sense of reserve and a deep but taut core. While minerality is an abused term, it’s hard not to invoke it to describe its supremely stony, saline texture. One of the wines of the vintage in Chablis."
