Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Floral nose, with fruity aromas enhanced by intense mineral notes and developing lightly smoky touches. Very round on the palate, both full-bodied and refined.
Pairs with fish, shellfish, and other seafood grilled or in a cream sauce or poultry and white meat, grilled or in a cream sauce.

James Suckling
Superfine, powerful and flinty with a linear and long shape. Like an arrow on the palate. This has quite an aloof and regal style. Very closed and steely. Long and mouthwatering. Supreme intensity, which makes it exhilarating. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Chablis Grand Cru les Preuses has a fresh and enticing bouquet with apple blossom, lime flower, granite and wet limestone aromas that really get to the core of Chablis. Of the six grand crus from Fevre, this might be my favorite. The palate is well balanced and very harmonious. The acidity is well judged and it possesses great elegance and femininity. One of the best wines from the domain this year, it comes recommended.
Barrel Sample: 92-94 -
Decanter
The Preuses is also nicely classic in 2016, wafting from the glass with notes of citrus oil, flowers, wet stones, sea breeze and a touch of crème pâtissière. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, elegant and texturally refined, with an assertive seam of minerality and a surprisingly generous core of succulent fruit, finishing with good cut and grip.
