2024 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses, William Fèvre

2024 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses, William Fèvre

Preuses tends to be the most mineral and chalky of the grand cru lieux-dits, and the Fèvre example is quintessential. It is tight and powerful, with wonderful depth on the nose. The palate has pronounced energy and precision, and there is a long, tingling line of mineral freshness that stretches right through the finish.

Tasting notes

Les Preuses was both badly hailed and mildewed, leaving just 4 hl/ha. Mid lemon yellow, starts quietly then a whiff of the real Preuses. Fills the mid palate, not quite so much behind. A little spice to finish. Slight lemon notes as well. Drink from 2029-2034. Tasted Jul 2025.

The 2024 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru was affected by hail. Because of that, it lacks a little energy on the nose compared to the Vaudésir. The palate is well balanced, clean and citrus-fresh, but this is just a bit short on the finish.
