2014 Domaine Servin Chablis Grand Cru "Les Preuses"

SKU #1556676 92-94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark The 2014 Chablis Grand Cru les Preuses, which Marc Cameron told me is now the last of the grand crus to be bottled, has a well-defined bouquet that is clean and pure, but perhaps needing a little more spiciness to articulate this vineyard. The palate is better with crisp acidity, nicely poised with fine salinity toward the finish. Keep this in the cellar for 4 or 5 years and this will evolve into a formidable Les Preuses. (NM) Inner quote mark (8/2015)

93 points Allen Meadows - Burghound

Outer quote mark An admirably discreet application of wood sets off floral, white fruit and citrus aromas that display plenty of classic Chablis nuances that include ocean breeze, green fruit, lemon-lime and pear. There is good richness to the relatively full-bodied and intense flavors that are underpinned by tangy but ripe acidity and a beautifully delineated finish that possesses excellent power and intensity. This is a classic Preuses of harmony and finesse. Inner quote mark (10/2016)

93 points Jeb Dunnuck

Outer quote mark Coming from almost 60-year-old vines, the 2014 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses is beautifully clean and pure, with lots of white flowers, citrus, lemon peel and mineral nuances giving way to a rounded, supple style on the palate. It carries bright acidity, but leads with gorgeous purity of fruit and is just hard to resist. This is a gorgeous, elegant Chablis that will shine for a decade or more. Inner quote mark (11/2020)

92 points Vinous

Outer quote mark Riper peach, crushed herbs and soil tones on the nose, accented by a touch of cinnamon oak spice. Not as austere as the Blanchots; in fact, this demonstrates a lovely creamy richness for 2014. But firming lemony acidity intensifies and extends the dry, savory flavors of citrus zest, flowers, powdered stone and soil through a very long, energetic finish. In recent years, the Preuses has become the last wine to be bottled at this address--in this case in early May. (ST) 92+ Inner quote mark (7/2016)

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Chardonnay

- It's hard to believe that up until about 30 years ago, this extremely popular varietal hid behind the veil of geographical names like Chablis and Puligny-Montrachet. Now grown all over the world and bottled by its varietal name, Chardonnay has achieved a level of branding unlike any other wine. Surprisingly, though, what you get when you buy Chardonnay can differ greatly from country to country and even within one country, depending on the climate where it's grown and how it is vinified and aged. From fresh, crisp and minerally with apple and lemon notes to rich and buttery with tropical fruit overtones, Chardonnay runs the gamut. In France's Burgundy, Chardonnay is the source of the prized wines of Chablis, Corton-Charlemagne, Mâcon, Meursault and Montrachet. It also the foundation of exceptional Champagne, where it is blended with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier or vinified on its own into Blanc de Blancs. It is also extremely popular in California, and is gaining popularity in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain and South Africa.

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Chablis

- The region north of the Cote d'Or, famous for its steely dry white wines made from Chardonnay. There are 7 Grands Crus vineyards, and numerous Premier Crus. Unfortunately, the name has been borrowed and badly abused by producers of inferior white wines in the US as well as in Australia. True French Chablis is a delicate, stony, crisp Chardonnay, bearing no resemblance to the anonymous plonk so labeled here.
