From Domaine Billaud-Simon in France’s Chablis appellation, the Chablis Grand Cru Preuses 2022 is a refined 100% Chardonnay sourced from a 0.41-hectare plot in the imposing Les Preuses Grand Cru vineyard on the right bank, featuring south/southeast-facing marls and Kimmeridgian limestone soils that impart depth and minerality. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2022 vintage—marked by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet fresh fruit—undergo fermentation in oak barrels (13% new), followed by 15-18 months' aging on lees to enhance texture and complexity. As a historic domaine founded over 200 years ago, emphasizing organic farming (certified 2025), this production yields a pale yellow wine with golden reflections and remarkable purity.

Tasting Notes A restrained, racy Chablis Grand Cru with imposing presence, featuring a primal bouquet of tinned peach and grapefruit that evolves into Golden Delicious and kiwi with aeration, delivering well-balanced opulence, fine acidity, and a persistent, stony finish. The nose is rich yet delicate with mineral, creamy, floral, slightly iodized notes, combined with honey and dried fruits. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and poised, with bright acidity, silky texture, and flavors of shellfish, sea breeze, quinine, and chalky minerality, leading to a long, complex finish.

Awards and Accolades The 2022 Chablis Grand Cru Preuses earned 94 points from Decanter for its super-classy, restrained style with ripeness shining through and long, elegant mineral notes; 93-95 from Burghound for its beautiful typicity, sappy dry extract, and impeccably balanced finale; 92-94 from Vinous for its well-defined bouquet and taut, harmonious palate; and 89-91 from Wine Advocate for its primal bouquet and fine, edgy entry.

Serving and Cellaring Serve at 10-12°C with 20-30 minutes of chilling to accentuate aromas. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with oysters, grilled fish, or goat cheese. Enjoy now through 2038, during which it will develop enhanced nutty and honeyed nuances.
