2015 Vincent Dauvissat, Chablis Grand Cru, Preuses 1x750ml

Robert Parker 95

The 2015 Chablis Grand Cru les Preuses has a strict and linear bouquet, touches of beeswax and honeysuckle reluctantly emerging with time, well defined, but very backward at the moment. The palate is well balanced with a rounded, sensual opening. There are subtle tropical tones here, quite spicy, with very lithe tannin and then it finally fans out with confidence on the long, ginger and orange rind tinged finish. This offers just about everything you could possibly want from a Chablis Les Preuses. [Neal Martin, 28/09/2017]

Vinous 95+

Pale yellow. Aromas of lemon-lime and crushed stone are lifted by topnotes of violet and lavender sea salt. Wonderfully rich, pliant wine with the thickness of the vintage perfectly leavened by citrussy lift and the rocky character of this grand cru. Simultaneously suave and powerful, fine-grained and penetrating, this seamless, bulletproof grand cru finishes with outstanding building length and an impression of chewy dry extract. Really amazing texture, concentration and early personality for a wine with a moderate 12.5% alcohol. This should go on for a long time. [Stephen Tanzer, 08/01/2017]
