"A fine grand cru which emphasises the finesse of Preuses, together with concentration and energy on the palate. Lots of fruit ripeness here, generous with notes of peach fruit. Great acidity. Small foudres used for ageing this grand cru, but in a very subtle way which will certainly integrate after bottling."

"The 2022 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru has a pretty bouquet. Yellow plum, jasmine, broom and light crushed stone scents become more accentuated with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with a keen line of acidity. Very pure, slightly candied fruit convey energy and tension. Precise on the finish, this is a very seductive and unusually sensual Les Preuses."
