BILLAUD-SIMON
Chablis Les Preuses Grand cru 2023
- 94 points -

Les Preuses is the iconic wine of Billaud-Simon, and it will not disappoint in 2023 with its aromas of pomelo, ripe pear and nectarine. The texture is silky but still substantial; there is plenty of fresh acidity but no tartness, and the finish lingers on with a hint of marzipan. The wine comes from nearly 0.75ha of low-yielding old-vine grapes that are gently pressed and fermented on selected yeast. The wine is impressive now, but it will blossom within three to five years in bottle and should drink well for 20 years after that.
