Jean et Sébastien Dauvissat Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses 2023

Jean et Sébastien Dauvissat’s Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses 2023 is a striking expression of one of Chablis’ most elegant Grand Cru vineyards, perched on the prized right bank of the Serein River. Crafted entirely from Chardonnay grown in the region’s legendary Kimmeridgian limestone soils, this wine captures the classic tension between richness and razor-sharp minerality that defines great Chablis. The 2023 vintage brings a beautiful sense of generosity, offering aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, oyster shell, ripe orchard fruit, and crushed stone, all wrapped in a subtle smoky nuance that slowly unfolds in the glass.  

On the palate, Les Preuses delivers both power and finesse, with layers of lemon curd, green apple, sea salt, and chalky mineral depth carried by vibrant acidity and a long, elegant finish. There is a wonderful roundness and texture to the wine, yet it never loses its precision or coastal freshness. A touch of barrel aging adds quiet complexity without overwhelming the purity of the fruit. This is a Grand Cru Chablis built for both immediate fascination and long aging, promising even greater complexity over the next decade as its mineral character deepens and evolves.
