La Chablisienne, Chablis Les Preuses, 2014
Les Preuses is one of just seven Chablis Grand Crus, and La Chablisienne is far more than a typical cooperative; it's a reference-point producer that crafts roughly a third of all Chablis to a remarkably high standard. The Grand Cru vineyards sit on the prized Kimmeridgian limestone and marl, the ancient seabed full of fossilized oyster shells that gives great Chablis its salty, mineral cut. From vines averaging around 30 years, this is barrel- and tank-aged on fine lees for some 20 months, building texture while keeping that electric Chablis tension. At a decade-plus of age, the 2014 has developed honeyed, savory complexity while holding its mineral spine. Pure Chardonnay, no makeup, just terroir.
