Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses 2020
Domaine Gilles et Nathalie Fèvre

Introduction :  Gilles and Nathalie Fèvre met at university where they both qualified as oenologists. Gilles is in charge of viticulture and Nathalie oversees vinification. Gilles’ great grandfather began growing grapes and making wine in and around the village of Fontenay-Près-Chablis over a hundred years ago. They have now been joined by their daughter Julie – a qualified agricultural engineer and oenologue in her own right. This is a wonderful 50 hectare domaine, all planted on Kimmeridgian limestone – 33 hectares of which are village Chablis. .

Vinification : Vinification and ageing on fine lees during 15 months (mini.): for 30% in oak (new barrels) and the rest in air-conditioned stainless steel tanks. Bottling and storage in air-conditioned cellar before shipping.    

Tasting Notes :  The wines are harmonious and generous, but if they are kept the cellar a few years, you will be able to fully appreciate their subtleties and complexities.

Food Pairing : According to maturity, perfect with scallops, grilled lobster, crawfish, or in sauce fine fish, but also with poultry or white meats in cream sauce.
