Tasting notes
The 2014 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses has a taut, crisp, leesy bouquet with a faint sea influence coming through with aeration. The palate is balanced with lemon peel on the entry, airy in style for Les Preuses with an almost structured finish. I would have liked a touch more spiciness to come through on the finish but otherwise, this is a respectable Chablis Preuses.

(in a new 500 liter-barrel, still with 15 liters of heavy lees and not yet racked): Bright yellow. Explosive crushed rock minerality gives thrust to the aromas of fresh peach and white flowers. Densely packed and thick but not hugely ripe or over the top. Boasts outstanding energy to its intense citrus and floral flavors and finishes with almost painful building length. This has the framework to make a classic, long-aging grand cru Chablis. Mounir Saouma will probably bottle this wine in the fall.
