Chablis Les Preuses William Fevre 2017 (750ML)

94 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "From bottle, the 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses is one of the twin pinnacles of the Fèvre portfolio, wafting from the glass with a lovely bouquet of citrus blossom, mandarin, oyster shell and wet stones-exactly as it did from barrel. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and elegantly glossy, with incisive acids, fine-boned structure and a precise, elegantly mineral finish. The Clos many be the most powerful, but the Preuses is the more elegant, detailed wine in the range this year." 4/19

97 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "An exotic, totally beguiling wine, the 2017 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru melds together rich fruit with saline, mineral-drenched intensity. White flowers, mint, white pepper and crushed rocks add tremendous lift to this striking, utterly captivating Chablis. A wine of superb classicism, the Preuses has it all. That's all there is to it." 01/20

93-95 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2017 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru has a well defined bouquet with hints of white flower, nettle and dandelion augmenting the green apple and spicy aromas. The palate is powerful on the entry, very intense and focused with a precise and detailed finish that is one of the best that the domaine produced on the finish. Excellent." 8/18

92-94 Points, Allen Meadows' Burghound: "As is virtually always the case, this is more elegant than the Valmur with its ripe, pure and airy aromas of lavender, green apple, citrus and white orchard fruit scents. There is very good density to the relatively restrained medium-bodied flavors that possess plenty of minerality on the rich, sappy and palate coating finale. A wine of class, refinement and finesse." 10/18

93 Points, William Kelley, Decanter: "The Preuses is also nicely classic in 2016, wafting from the glass with notes of citrus oil, flowers, wet stones, sea breeze and a touch of crème pâtissière. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, elegant and texturally refined, with an assertive seam of minerality and a surprisingly generous core of succulent fruit, finishing with good cut and grip." 10/17
