Chablis Les Preuses Piuze 2018 (750ML)

95 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses is superb, revealing an incipiently complex bouquet that mingles orange blossom, iodine, shrimp shell reduction and wet stones in a saliva-inducing mélange. Full-bodied, satiny and multidimensional on the palate, it's layered, elegantly textural but incisive, with racy acids for the vintage and a long, saline finish." 08/19

96 Points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com: "This is very dense and layered up with almond pastry, spiced pears and quince, ending with grapefruit. Pithy, but integrated and super long. Really succulent and supple. This is a great wine in 2018. Wait a decade here." 8/19

91-93 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "Well-layered aromas are composed by notes of green fruit, seashore, floral and a touch of mineral reduction. There is once again excellent volume to the even more refined and attractively textured flavors that culminate in a bitter lemon, refreshing and balanced finish. This is a lovely combination of power and finesse." 10/19, Issue #76

95+ Points, John Gilman, View From the Cellar: "The 2018 les Preuses from Patrick Piuze is also a great, great wine in the making. The bouquet is pure and already very complex, delivering a fine constellation of apple, pear, kaleidoscopic limestone minerality, beeswax, white flowers and a touch of straw in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with the refined profile of a great example of les Preuses, a fine girdle of acidity and stellar length and grip on the pure and complex finish. Great juice. 2025-2075." 12/19
