We were able to get a bit more of the 2020 Preuses, which has the potential to be the best example of this wine of all time from Fevre. The 2020s here are magnificent and account for some of the best wines Fevre has ever produced, with stunning examples throughout the entire range. 2020 is also the first year Fevre has officially converted to organics after 15 years of practicing at the Domaine. The 2020s have profound complexity, and while they aren't as concentrated as the '19s, they are a bit more typical and dazzling examples of the vintage. Preuses is one of the best Grand Crus Fevres produced this vintage and is on the same level as Les Clos at slightly lower pricing. Fevre's version is an imposing effort and one of the best buys of the vintage and as good as Dauvissat's version at three times less. We have a limited amount available at this friendly pricing, and it is not a Grand Cru Chablis to miss.
John Gilman 97 points! "The 2020 les Preuses from Domaine Fèvre was one of the finest white wines I tasted from the entire vintage during my trip in November and December. The perfect ripeness of the vintage, coupled to such great acidity are the hallmarks of the best wines of 2020 and these attributes are on full display in this stunning young wine. The nose soars from the glass in a mineral bath of les Preuses Kimmeridgian limestone terroir, carrying notes of apple, pear, fresh lime, straw, oyster shell, white flowers and a topnote of beeswax. On the palate the wine is pure, precise, snappy and very, very complex, with great depth at the core, stunning mineral definition, laser-like focus and stunning length and grip on the simply beautiful young finish. All this great wine needs is time in the cellar to blossom."
Burghound 95 points! "Aromas of quinine, essence of wet stone and seashore add breadth to the nose of pear, apple and anise. Once again there is fine density and intensity to the mouthcoating medium-weight flavors that flash outstanding length on the bracingly saline-suffused finale. This has already developed very good depth and more will almost surely follow. This is potentially outstanding."
Wine Advocate (William Kelley) 95 points! "The 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses is, if anything, even more electric than the formidable Valmur, wafting from the glass with notions of citrus oil, freshly baked bread, oyster jus and wet stones. Full-bodied, satiny and chiseled, it's racy and intense, with a bright spine of acidity and a long, intensely saline finish."
