This is arguably the most elegant wine in the range with its ultra-pure aromas of quinine, oyster shell, mineral reduction and floral elements that are also trimmed in just enough wood to warrant commenting on it. There is a caressing, even seductive mouth feel to the beautifully well-delineated and concentrated medium-bodied flavors that possess an almost delicate quality before culminating in a nearly startlingly explosive finish that just goes on and on. This bone dry effort is an exercise in harmony and grace, or otherwise expressed, a classic Preuses. In a word, brilliant.
This wine was tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Chablis Grand Cru les Preuses appears to have closed down on the nose, reluctantly revealing yellow flower and granite scents that build in the glass. The palate is fresh and structured on the entry, and the acidity is very well judged with tension and race on the long finish. At the moment, this seems primal and backward, especially compared to previous encounters. Nonetheless, even blind you can tell that it has a bright future.
