Preuses, like many of the Grand Cru climats, has a southwesterly aspect that allows access to warm sunlight in the cool Chablis climate. This moderates temperatures, ensuring that grapes reach optimum levels of ripeness while retaining acidity. Access to the more intense afternoon sun means that Preuses Grand Cru wines tend to be rounder and softer than other Chablis Grand Cru.

Other Reviews....
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.

Vinous

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.

Wine Advocate

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.

Freshly sliced apple, a touch of salinity and fleshy dairy characters. Shows the volume of grand cru without sacrificing the precision and minerality of Chablis – very nicely done.
