Chablis
Grand Cru Les Preuses 1992
"Coup de Coeur" 1996"
" A
gift from the Gods. Predominating over Les Clos tasting. Les
Preuses have a bouquet lifted by the Spring breeze and body
which bears strong hallmarks of their soil. The makings of a
Grand Cru ".
Chablis
Premier Cru
Montée de Tonnerre 1993
" Not
far of Coup de Coeur selection, this Montée de Tonnerre has
already reached the summits. Almost ex aqueo with interest
worthy Premiers Crus Vaillons the Domaine's best 1er Cru :
superb lacework ornamented with all the qualities of a great
Chablis. Pale in colour, alert nose, with perfect attack
followed by a combination of subtleness and elegance.
Ends
on a slightly exotic note bursting with freshness ".
