Vintage Character The 2022 vintage in Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses produced wines of remarkable clarity and concentration, shaped by a warm, sun-filled growing season balanced by timely rainfall.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded an impressive 93–95 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, Lucien Le Moine’s Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses 2022 exemplifies the finesse and mineral-driven character for which this site is renowned. Aromas of white blossoms, citrus zest, and crushed oyster shell mingle with subtle hints of hazelnut and wet stone. On the palate, vibrant acidity is complemented by a supple texture, revealing layers of ripe green apple, lemon curd, and a delicate saline minerality distinctive to Les Preuses. The finish is long and crystalline, echoing with chalky purity and a gentle touch of spice. This wine pairs beautifully with seafood risotto or classic French dishes such as sole meunière, and also elevates aged Comté cheese, making it a versatile and elegant choice at the table.
