Tasting Notes
An exotic, totally beguiling wine, the 2017 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru 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. That's all there is to it. Score: 97 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2025-2037 01 January 2020
As is virtually always the case, this possesses a wonderfully elegant nose with its ripe, pure and airy aromas of lavender, green apple, citrus and white orchard fruit scents that are trimmed in subtle wood toast wisps. There is very good density to the relatively restrained medium-bodied flavors that possess plenty of minerality on the rich, sappy and palate coating finale. A brilliant wine of class, refinement and finesse. Score: 95 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2029+ 10 October 2019
As is virtually always the case, this is more elegant than the Valmur with its ripe, pure and airy aromas of lavender, green apple, citrus and white orchard fruit scents. There is very good density to the relatively restrained medium-bodied flavors that possess plenty of minerality on the rich, sappy and palate coating finale. A wine of class, refinement and finesse. Don't miss! Score: 92 - 94 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2024+ 15 October 2018
From bottle, the 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses is one of the twin pinnacles of the Fèvre portfolio, wafting from the glass with a lovely bouquet of citrus blossom, mandarin, oyster shell and wet stones—exactly as it did from barrel. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and elegantly glossy, with incisive acids, fine-boned structure and a precise, elegantly mineral finish. The Clos many be the most powerful, but the Preuses is the more elegant, detailed wine in the range this year.

The 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses is a pretty, delicate wine, exhibiting lovely aromas of orange blossom, mandarin, oystershell and lemon oil. On the palate, it's ample, full-bodied and elegant, with a tense, stony core and fine-boned structure. Right now, it doesn't have the weight of the Côte Bouguerots, but it's beautifully detailed and refined. Score: 92 - 95 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 31 August 2018
The 2017 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru has a well defined bouquet with hints of white flower, nettle and dandelion augmenting the green apple and spicy aromas. The palate is powerful on the entry, very intense and focused with a precise and detailed finish that is one of the best that the domaine produced on the finish. Excellent.
