Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses Chanson 2018

Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses, Domaine Chanson, Chablis, Burgundy, France, 2018

Grape Variety: Chardonnay, limestone soil, 12-14 months' ageing in French oak (some new barrels)

Les Preuses is the Grand Cru of Chablis at the northern end of the Grand Cru area. It is one of the smallest Grand Cru climat and covers 11.4 ha. The vines selected by Chanson are ideally located right in the heart of the plot. This brings to the wine the specific minerality of this terroir.

Producer Tasting Note:

Pale gold colour. Floral fragrances mixed with white orchard fruit aromas and honey. Delicate mineral expression. Well balanced and complex. Creamy with a tight texture. Long finish.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"A sense of reduction on this wine's nose expresses itself as just-extinguished candlesmoke. Beyond that, waxiness suggests phenolic richness. The rich palate is cloudlike in its generosity. It offers yeast, chalk, lemon, roundness and more of that phenolic, pleasantly bitter edge. The finish is long and lasting. Drink by 2035."
