"In a swirling aromatic complexity, fruit aromas range from lime peel to guava, green apple and spice. A suggestion of white blossoms and a bit of toasty reduction are underlined with chalky minerality. The palate has lovely concentration, but the wine is never heavy; it has perfect finesse and precision. This wine is exceedingly youthful, and although it is undeniably delicious now, it will age tranquilly for at least another 30 years. This has it all."

"The 2022 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru seems to have closed down on the nose as it is wont to do. It is hanging a sign that says: Come back in a decade. The palate is magnificent though: intense, very delineated, subtle hints of nougat and lemongrass, that spiciness/pepperiness on the finish that nails it as a Les Preuses and a very sustained aftertaste. Outstanding, but you will need to wait for this."

"Scintillating on the nose with crushed apples, oyster shells, yeast packet and cheese rind, this is a thoroughly savory wine. Roaring acidity streaks up the back palate giving this freshness and crunch. It is sappy yet bone dry—a lovely juxtaposition. The charismatic, mineral finish is not in a rush. These vines sit next to La Moutonne."

"The 2023 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru has an enticing bouquet with wonderfully delineated citrus peel, chamomile, apple blossom, hazelnut and slightly smoky aromas. The palate has improved since last year, attaining much more harmony and precision, with just a simmering undercurrent of spiciness. I might have underrated this last year…"

"The 2023 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru was unusually reticent on the nose when I tasted it from barrel. it gradually unfolds with subtle lanolin and walnut scents. The palate is well balanced, refined and pretty, a more elegant Les Preuses perhaps. Not quite as rivetingly complex as the previous vintage, yet it is graceful and sustained in the mouth. Wonderful."

About The Winery
Domaine Vincent Dauvissat is arguably the finest Domaine in Chablis. Established in the 1970s by Robert Dauvissat, the Domaine has passed down from father to son for three generations. Robert's son René is to thank for establishing the reputation of the Domaine. Vincent began working with his father, René, in the 1970s and today runs the Domaine. A loyal following among France's most esteemed restaurateurs sharply limits the availability of Dauvissat wines for export. Despite limited quantities, the wines have attracted the praise and attention of critics worldwide.
