Chablis les Preuses 2008 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (97)

I rank Vincent Dauvissat's 2008 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses as one of his greatest hits, and it's a wine I can never resist ordering whenever I encounter it. This bottle did nothing to dissuade me of my opinion, unfurling in the glass with a stunning bouquet of lemon oil, mandarin, honeycomb, dried white flowers and almond paste, complemented by classy top notes of iodine and salty oystershell. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and layered, with incredible concentration and intensity, a racy line of acidity and a long, stony finish. It's a Preuses that stands out for its combination of texture, intensity and weightlessness, and while it's still youthful, it is drinking superbly already. Writing this note, I'm already salivating for the next bottle.
