Domaine William Fevre Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses 2016

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.

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. - jamessuckling.com, 95 points
