Reviews & Scores
Like the Vaillons this is very restrained and only aggressive swirling liberates the notably cool aromas that are like being at the sea shore and include subtle notes of white flowers, oyster shell, mineral reduction and pear. There is impressive size, weight and richness to the dense and mouth coating flavors that retain a wonderful sense of refinement before culminating in a salty and silky finish that seems just to go on and on; it's that persistent. As it almost always is, this is Zen-like in its harmony. In a word, wonderful. - BH

Intensely mineral, silex-infused notes meld into precise, crystalline fruit in the 2012 Chablis Preuses. Vivid, nuanced and weightless in the glass, the 2012 possesses exceptional balance and stunning complexity. Sage, mint, white orchard fruit and intensely saline notes leave a lasting impression. This is a magnificent, spellbinding effort from Vincent Dauvissat. - VM

The 2012 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses has a nose that strides out of the blocks and takes charge over those premier crus. Real mineralite here – you can smell that Kimmeridgian! The palate is extremely well-balanced with razor-sharp acidity you could cut your finger on. Beautifully poised with bags of spice on the finish, this is one powerful Les Preuses – one of the finest grand crus of the vintage. - WA
