RATINGS

97Vinous / IWC

...melds together rich fruit with saline, mineral-drenched intensity. White flowers, mint, white pepper and crushed rocks add tremendous lift to this striking, utterly captivating Chablis. A wine of superb classicism, the Preuses has it all.

96James Suckling

There’s such beautifully focused limes and green mangoes on the nose here with a very flinty edge that lends a very pure and precise-edged tone. The palate follows in with a strikingly concentrated feel and a long, white-peach core that holds straight and fresh. Breathtaking.

94The Wine Advocate

...lovely bouquet of citrus blossom, mandarin, oyster shell and wet stones... On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and elegantly glossy, with incisive acids, fine-boned structure and a precise, elegantly mineral finish.

91Wine Spectator

A clean, lemon-flavored version, this features a supple texture, with well-integrated acidity and a mineral element garnishing the finish.

17Jancis Robinson

Freshly sliced apple, a touch of salinity and fleshy dairy characters. Shows the volume of grand cru without sacrificing the precision and minerality of Chablis – very nicely done.
