Domaine Billaud-Simon - Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses 2009
Notes: Robert Parker 94/100, RVF 17/20, Bettane & Desseauve 17/20
Les Preuses is a fairly feminine cuvée, expressing itself with a flattering honeyed note quickly followed by green and mineral nuances. The highly diverse range of aromas is complex, with ripe fruit combining honeyed and toasted notes, lemon and vanilla. This wine is dense and slender with an elegant, racy structure. Brilliant!

About the estate:
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2022 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
This family estate, established in Chablis since 1815, changed hands in 2014, passing into the fold of the Faiveley house, which thus expanded its holdings, already rich with 20 hectares of the finest Chablis terroirs, with four grands crus: Les Clos, Les Preuses, Vaudésir, and Les Blanchots; four premiers crus: Montée de Tonnerre, Mont-de-Milieu, Fourchaume and Vaillons, as well as Chablis and Petits Chablis. Olivier Bailly was appointed manager in 2014 and quickly refined the management of the vineyards. Since 2016, the return to high quality has been evident, and this estate is now one of the most reliable in Chablis.
