Domaine William Fevre Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses 2020

The William Fevre estate owns more than 50 hectares in the heart of the Chablis vineyard, of which more than half are in Premier Crus and Grand Crus. From manual harvesting to ageing in vats and neutral oak casks, everything is done to fully express the characteristics of each appellation and to preserve terroirs and natural balances. 

Les Preuses is probably taken from the word “Perreuse” (stone), the name given to the ancient Roman road which ran below the current vineyard. Made for ageing thanks to a dense, compact, clay-rich soil resting on a limestone bed.

The 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses is, if anything, even more electric than the formidable Valmur, wafting from the glass with notions of citrus oil, freshly baked bread, oyster jus and wet stones. Full-bodied, satiny and chiseled, it’s racy and intense, with a bright spine of acidity and a long, intensely saline finish. Drink: 2027–2050 - William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 95 Points
