Working with organically farmed vineyards and a philosophy of minimal intervention, our friends at de Montille focus on expressing the purity and precision of Chablis’ famed Kimmeridgian soils. The Les Preuses, one of the appellation’s seven Grand Crus, is often regarded as the most elegant of the group, prized for its combination of power, refinement and remarkable ageing potential. The warm and generous 2018 vintage has produced a wine of impressive depth, yet one that retains the freshness and mineral definition that make great Chablis so compelling. Careful élevage, with only a subtle influence from oak, allows the vineyard’s character to remain front and centre. Richer than many cooler-vintage Chablis, yet unmistakably Grand Cru in its poise and precision, this is a superb expression of one of the region’s finest terroirs.
