2022 Chablis, Les Preuses, Grand Cru, Domaine William Fèvre, Burgundy

Description

There are two distinct parcels here, covering 2.5 hectares. One hectare faces east on a slope, giving freshness; the remainder faces south-west on deeper clay, bringing a rounded texture. This is a wine of consummate finesse and elegance. There is a crystalline purity here; the wine glides across the palate and takes off. It is simply beautiful.

Drink 2030 - 2042

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 93-95/100

Such a fresh lime infused colour. The bouquet shows the soft creamy riches that you can find here in Les Preuses. There is plenty of bulk but the hectare plot which drops down into Vaudésir gives the mineral tension. A little lime and lemon coats the tongue at the finish.

Beautiful mix of richness, grace and drive. As always with Fèvre's Les Preuses, this is elegant, long-living and fine. Ultra-stylish and very mineral. From two sections of vines. One situated low down on Les Preuses next to Vincent Dauvissat's plot, on the flatter part facing south, the other on deeper soils, with both adding richness and totalling 2.5ha.

Here too there is an ever-so-mildly toasty nose which features perfumed notes of smoked grilled shellfish, pear and algae. The dense and equally serious larger-scaled flavors don't have quite the same power yet they are clearly more refined on the markedly bitter citrus zest finish that displays outstanding length. This is exceptionally classy and while it too could use more depth, that is all but assured if given a chance. Drink 2032+

The 2022 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses wafts from the glass with aromas of orange zest, oyster liquor, brine and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural, it's more and intensely mineral, underlining its role as the most ethereal of the grand cru climats.

Neal Martin 92-94/10

The 2022 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru is not unlike the Valmur on the nose: backward and a little sultry in style, with faint touches of crustacea coming through. The palate is more generous with orchard fruit, hints of apricot and wild peach, and fine acidity. It is very harmonious but without quite the same complexity as the Valmur on the finish. Still, this should give many years of drinking pleasure.
Drink 2026 - 2045

Tank sample. Intense aroma of fresh pears, pure and open. Deeply fruited on the mid palate balanced by very good freshness. Persistent and with excellent tension.

About this wine

Chablis Grand Cru

Chablis Grand Cru

The biggest, richest and most complex Chablis, these cover a total of 100 hectares – just two percent of the appellation. At their best, they can match the quality of a Grand Cru Chardonnay from the Côte d’Or, yet often at half the price. While lacking their neighbour’s opulence, they share the latter’s intensity, with a nervy minerality that sets them apart, and should ideally be aged for 10 years.
