Jean & Sebastien Dauvissat'Les Preuses' Grand Cru Chablis 2022

Father and son team Jean and Sébastien long worked together on these beautiful Chablis, but after Jean’s passing several years ago, Sebastién manages their 10 hectares of vineyard along with winemaking. The domaine only uses about 25% new oak to allow the natural mineral richness of the sites to shine through. The Grand Cru vineyard of Les Preuses is located on the eastern bank of the Serein River above the town of Chablis. The slope faces southeastern, offering optimal sun exposure. This bottle displays the mineral taughtness of the site, along creaminess and floraity. The palate shows notes of orchard fruit, bitter almond, and waxy flowers. This is the type of wine that makes you understand why certain sites are classified as Grand Cru.
