About the region:
Chablis lies in the northernmost part of Burgundy, closer to Champagne than the Côte d’Or. The Preuses Grand Cru vineyard is one of Chablis’ seven prestigious Grand Crus, situated on steep slopes with ideal sun exposure and soils rich in Kimmeridgian limestone, giving the wines their hallmark minerality and longevity.
About the grape variety:
Chardonnay is the exclusive grape of Chablis. In this cooler northern climate, it produces wines with bright acidity, citrus and green fruit notes, and a pronounced mineral character that sets them apart from Chardonnay grown elsewhere in Burgundy.
Style and tasting note:
Louis Jadot Chablis Preuses Grand Cru 2022 is a wine of depth and elegance. It shows aromas of citrus, white peach, and acacia, layered with flinty minerality and a touch of spice. The palate is powerful yet refined, with a creamy texture balanced by crisp acidity, leading to a long, precise finish. A wine built to age gracefully for many years.
Trivia:
The name “Preuses” is believed to derive from “perreuse,” meaning a stone path, referencing the ancient Roman road that once crossed the vineyard. This Grand Cru has long been recognized for producing some of the most complex and long-lived wines in Chablis."
