Tasting notes
The 2021 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses is bright and aromatic, bursting with notes of white flowers, crisp orchard fruit, nutmeg, iodine, clear honey and oyster shell. Medium to full-bodied, racy and incisive, with a charming core of expressive fruit and a long, perfumed finish, this is already quite open out of the gates for a young Dauvissat Preuses in a cooler vintage.

Pale-mid lemon. Concentrated apple, lemon, oyster shell and brine. This has a rich, voluptuous texture, silk not satin. Suave and long. Feline. (MH)
The 2021 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru needs a little more cohesion on the nose, and I was expecting a little more power to come through. I suspect that I just caught this on an off day. The palate is better with fine cohesion and acidity, decent depth with orange zest and spice. Very harmonious and persistent on the finish - I suspect this will open up beautifully once in bottle, but for me, it is shaded by the Les Clos at the premature juncture.
