On tasting, the Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses 2013 from La Chablisienne reveals a silvery yellow colour with subtle greenish highlights, clear and brilliant. Very complex from the outset, the nose offers harmonious aromas of white flowers, fruit and sweet spices, along with a light yet elegant touch of oak. The palate shows a lovely sappiness; the wine is dense and superbly balanced. Showing great freshness, Les Preuses from La Chablisienne reveals delicious hints of white orchard fruit on the finish.
