The 2023 vintage produced many fleshy Chablis wines that have lost their classical mineral-y profile. Not this one. Simonet-Febvre has crafter a spectacular Preuses in 2023, brimming with a stoney minerality and riveting acidity. Long and impressive, this Preuses is the real thing. If you love Chablis and lament the effect of climate change on the region, scoop this one up. Some is going into my cellar.
