Les Preuses has always been the poet among Chablis’ Grand Crus. It doesn’t flex like Les Clos or grip like Valmur—it glides. Facing southwest on wind-scrubbed limestone, the vineyard gives wines that seem to hover just above the ground: lifted, fine-boned, and quietly persistent. In a warm, early vintage like 2018, that restraint matters more than ever.

William Fèvre farms it organically and harvests early to protect tension. The result is a wine that moves with calm precision. It doesn’t leap out of the glass—it unfolds. There’s richness, but it’s held in check by chalk and breeze. This is minerality over muscle, and a reminder that Grand Cru doesn’t always need grandeur to be great.

If you’re looking for loud, look elsewhere. If you’re looking for clarity, this is it.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 94

"The 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses is another beautiful wine from Fèvre, wafting from the glass with pretty aromas of orange blossom, oyster shells, citrus zest and fresh pear. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it's ample but precise, with racy acids and an intensely saline, mineral finish." -Robert Parker

Decanter

D 97

"This comes from two parcels, facing east and south-west, respectively, making a very tidy 2.5ha in total. Showing the delicate touch of one of the very best winemakers in Chablis, this is a saline, focused, wonderfully structured Preuses that has plenty of grip and acidity, sappy, bone-dry flavors and remarkable length. The grands crus of Les Clos and Bougros, Côte de Bouguerots scored 96 and Valmur 95."

Wine Spectator

WS 92

"Ripe notes of peach and green plum are offset by wild herb and bitter citrus peel accents in this tensile white. It finishes on the compact side, with fine length."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 96

"Funky reduction still dominates this wine's nose with yeasty fumes, but underneath bright lemon notes shine through. The palate comes in with compact concentration and bundled but buffered energy. Drive and verve are packed in 2018's generosity, with a slender, bright core that conveys mouthwatering refreshment. The chalky finish is long and fresh."

Focus On: Burgundy

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!

From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
