FEATURES
🏰 The 2007 vintage in Chablis is celebrated as "unsurpassed in its precision and pure expression of terroir," with Vincent Dauvissat himself calling it a "miraculous and completely unexpected vintage." John Gilman further lauded the vintage as "superb." This Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru from 2007 is initially restrained but quickly becomes expressive, revealing an airy, ripe, elegant, and strikingly pure nose with classic Chablis character, including sea breeze, citrus, and green fruit aromas. The palate offers delineated and equally pure flavors of stunning depth and intensity, culminating in a hugely long finish where minerality, initially subdued, rushes forth. It's been described as a "study in harmony and grace." The bouquet is deep, nascently complex, and still quite primary, with a mix of grapefruit, lemon, apple, beeswax, chalk, oyster white soil tones, spring flowers, and a hint of vanilla. The wine is full-bodied, deep, and racy, with a rock-solid core of fruit, a somewhat closed personality at present, and profound length and grip on its soil-driven, racy finish. Other notes mention a very floral, powerful, and ripe character, with an oily texture, salted fruit, vanilla bean, cinnamon toast, sourball lemon, and a beechnut and anise-infused finish. Expect notes of minerals, honey, stone, citrus, apple, and hints of butter, oak, and cream. 【Considered one of the greatest vintages of this wine in the history of the domaine, praised for its precision, purity, harmony, and grace.】
🍴 This exquisite Chablis Grand Cru is a perfect match for shellfish, crab, and lobster. It also harmonizes beautifully with white meat, various cheeses, and delicate fish dishes. Consider pairing it with vegetable and fish dishes accompanied by light sauces.
🥂 While still a "baby" with immense potential, this wine is considered one of the greatest vintages in the domaine's history and is capable of aging effortlessly for many years. As of recent reviews (Oct 2025), it is entering a peak drinking window. It also serves as an excellent aperitif, setting a sophisticated tone for any special occasion.
