Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses

Domaine Nathalie & Gilles Fèvre is a family-run wine estate in Chablis, Burgundy (France), with deep roots dating back to 1745 and officially established under its current name in 2004 by Nathalie and Gilles Fèvre, both trained oenologists. The domaine farms around 50–53 hectares of vineyards on classic Kimmeridgian limestone soils. Their style is defined by fresh, precise, mineral-driven Chardonnay with emphasis on terroir expression and purity, using mostly stainless-steel vinification with minimal oak influence and sustainable viticulture practices.

Les Preuses is a Grand Cru climat of Chablis, located on the eastern bank of the Serein river above the town of Chablis. This vineyard lies at the northern end of the Grand Cru slope, where Kimmeridgian soils and a sunny aspect make for an excellent terroir. The Chardonnay-based wines made in Preuses are rich and elegant, but less aromatic and with less obvious minerality than other Chablis Grand Cru wines.

The 2017 Les Preuses opens with a delicate bouquet of fresh fruit, white flowers and hawthorn, with clear mineral notes underneath. The palate is complex and expressive, combining fruit with touches of butter, spice and anise, while the oak remains well integrated. Freshness and mineral tension carry through to a long, harmonious finish.
