Domaine Billaud Simon Chablis gc. Les Preuses 2022 1,5l

Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses from Billaud-Simon is drawn from a breezy upper-slope vineyard with clay-limestone soils that bring both creamy richness and saline tension. Many of the chardonnay vines are old and harvested by hand before ageing in stainless steel and selected oak barrels. The nose is refined, offering white flowers, citrus and white peach alongside mineral, gently iodized notes, a touch of honey and dried fruits. On the palate Les Preuses is silky, layered and powerful, with a succulent, opulent mid-palate balanced by firm acidity. The texture remains creamy without heaviness, while the salty mineral backbone shines through. A long, elegant finish makes this grand cru a superb match for scallops, seafood platters, fine fish dishes and delicate, sauce-based cuisine.

Fifteen to eighteen months in stainless steel preserve Chablis precision while emphasizing minerality and power.
