  By this point in the lineup, the quality level of these grand crus was starting to really become a bit overwhelming to the senses, but the stunning quality of the 2010 Les Preuses had no difficulty making an impression! This too had been bottled the week before. The utterly classic and pure bouquet offers up a haunting nose of grapefruit, green apple, kaleidoscopically complex soil stones redolent of chalky, oyster shell and stony minerality, white flowers and a pungent topnote of beeswax. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very, very racy, with great purity and precision on the attack, stunning mid-palate depth, great focus and balance and an endless and rapier-like finish. Drink between 2020-2060. 97+

  The 2010 Chablis Les Preuses combines the minerality of Valmur and the fruit of Bouguerots in a style that is immensely appealing. The wine's balance is utterly impeccable throughout. This is one of those effortless, gracious wines that is easy to underestimate because the elements are so seamlessly woven together that nothing in particular stands out. I am blown away by the sheer balance, purity and harmony of what is in the glass. This is a great showing from Fevre and Didier Seguir. (AG)

  Bright, pale lemon-yellow color. Knockout nose melds pineapple, white peach, lemon oil, wild herbs, flowers and cut hay, plus a whiff of menthol. Wonderfully silky, dense and pure, with subtle sweetness cut by brilliant acidity. Utterly electric Chablis: saline, tactile and palate-saturating from start to resounding finish. I'd forget this one in the cellar: it may eventually merit an even higher rating. In 2010 and 2011, this wine challenges Vincent Dauvissat's supernal Preuses. (ST)

  Tasted alongside the corresponding 2012 and 2011, Fevre’s 2010 Chablis Les Preuses accentuates both the sweet-saline savor of scallop and the briny, nutty, oyster liqueur and seaweed that are also part and parcel of the subsequent renditions, resulting in an experience that taps the imagination and salivary glands with equal urgency. Struck flint smokiness and fusil notes lend persistent pungency and bittersweet floral perfume further allure, while fresh citrus serves for luscious refreshment. This finishes with superb complexity and much of the mystery and clarity found in the 2012. When one considers the contrast between baked-in concentration of a torrid mid-August in 2012 and the cool but desiccating north wind of September 2010, I wonder that the two wines are not even more strikingly different. But perhaps the contribution of the site itself is, after all, definitive. (DS)

  Initially this was rather fruity and without much evident Chablis typicity but with extended air (more than one hour), the nose deepened and gradually blossomed to reveal notes of quinine, iodine, white orchard fruit and floral nuances. There is excellent intensity to the driving, concentrated and beautifully refined medium weight flavors that brim with minerality on the exquisitely long finish. As is virtually always the case with a fine Preuses, this is an exercise in class and grace and while this could certainly be enjoyed now (with air), it clearly is still on the way up and thus a bit more patience should be amply rewarded. Lovely juice.

  Intense if not expressive on the nose, a little herbal and stony. Very creamy texture but in balance with the freshness. Clear, determined citrus streak along with the classic mineral core, though the oak softens the minerality. 17.5/20 points (JH)
