Tasting Notes

Dark crimson. Intense red-cherry fruit with a touch of pepper. Sweet, deep and generous. Tannins are firm and chewy but supple. Really nice fruit, finesse and fresh length

Score: 95

The 2009 Chablis Les Preuses is one of the most complete wines in this lineup. It possesses striking delineation of aromas and flavors, with nuance after nuance that emerge in the glass. It is another of the weightless wines here in that it is full of flavor but never heavy. Intense notes of minerality and smokiness grace the textured, sublime finish. This is a fabulous effort from Fevre and Didier Seguier. The Preuses is made from two parcels; the first an east-facing steep slope, the second a flatter parcel richer in clay with a southwest exposure.

Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2013-2019 01 August 2011

Pale, bright yellow-green. Citrus, ginger and mint aromas lifted by a peppery element. Dense, pure and fresh, with very good definition to its white peach and spice flavors. Quite full and broad but not heavy. Really dusts the palate with flavor and builds on the very long finish. Last year this wine seemed fatter and more exotic than the Cote Bouguerots, but not today. A beauty.

Restrained mineral and slightly herbal, more power and intensity on the palate than the Bougros Côte Bouguerots. More like a grand cru. (JH)
