Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses 2012 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat

CHABLIS GC - PREUSES

10年余を経て、いま飲み頃の頂へ。

シャブリ最高峰の造り手ドーヴィサが、グラン・クリュ「レ・プリューズ」から紡ぐ一本です。牡蠣殻や潮を思わせるヨード、濡れた小石を連想させる複雑なミネラルの香り。緑を帯びていた若い果実味は、10年余の熟成を経て蜂蜜やナッツを思わせる芳醇なニュアンスへと開花しました。凛とした緊張感のある骨格に、塩気を帯びた爽快でドライなフィニッシュ。生牡蠣や車海老のグリルとともに、いま飲み頃を迎えた奥行きをどうぞ。

Tasting note

A truly classic Dauvissat, with complex mineral aromas evocative of oyster shells, iodine reminiscent of the sea, sea breeze, and wet pebbles. The green, youthful fruit flavors will blossom into rich nuances of honey and nuts after a decade of aging. A crisp, taut structure with a saline, refreshing, dry finish. What sets this wine apart is Dauvissat's unique sense of Zen-like harmony. The overwhelming depth and persistent finish characteristic of a Grand Cru are beautifully integrated in a liquid that is now perfectly ready to drink.

Winemaking & technical data

Soil: Kimmeridgian limestone. Les Preuses is one of the top Grand Crus owned by Dauvissat, with a thin layer of marl over deep limestone.
Viticulture: Vincent Dauvissat aims for natural cultivation, with minimal or no pest control.
Harvest: Grapes are hand-picked and not destemmed.
Fermentation: Partially fermented in enamel tanks, partially in wooden barrels.
Aging: All aging is done in 6-8 year old used barrels, allowing the wine to slowly develop on its lees with air. Unfiltered is the standard.
Winemaking Philosophy: One of Chablis' most traditional producers, dedicated to maximizing the unique character of each plot. Considered alongside Raveneau as a top producer.
