to appreciate the otherwise fresh, cool and classic Chablis-suffused nose. There is excellent concentration to the powerful and extract-rich big-bodied flavors that possess an almost chewy texture before terminating in a gorgeously long, dry and well-balanced finish. This will also require 6 to 8 years to be at its best."

freshness and nuance, while capturing the depth of the year. Floral notes add lift and definition to this beautifully articulated, vibrant Clos from Fabien and Guy Moreau. Saline notes give the wine its sense of urgency and focus. The 2010 is at once voluptuous yet weightless, in the way the best wines from Clos often are. This is a great showing. Anticipated maturity: 2012+."
BURGHOUND 92-94 POINTS "DON'T MISS": "A highly complex and perfumed nose speaks of floral, citrus, white peach and shell fish hints that introduce rich, refined and dazzlingly pure flavors that possess a silky mouth feel and superb detail on the explosive, long and impeccably well-balanced finish."

first taste. Nothing in particular stands out, as all the elements are beautifully balanced. Smoke, licorice, apricots and spices wrap around a generous finish supported by clean veins of minerality. For the Vaudesir, Moreau aged 60% of the wine in oak. Anticipated maturity: 2012."
BURGHOUND 91-93 POINTS - "A notably ripe and openly exotic nose offer up hints of sea breeze, iodine and a mix of white and yellow orchard fruit aromas. There is solid richness to the full-bodied and relatively dense middle weight flavors that exude a fine minerality on the mouth coating finish. As is the case with the 2009, this does not seem as though it is the issue of such young vines."

which can also be found on the massively rich, concentrated and big-bodied flavors that are breathtakingly powerful and intense, all wrapped in a palate drenching and extraordinarily long finish. As impressive as all of these characteristics are, it's the sheer depth of underlying material that is almost hard to believe. Like the Preuses and the Valmur, this is a 'wow' wine that should develop for at least a decade though because of all of the dry extract, it will be approachable much sooner." 2020+

Along with the Les Clos, this is arguably one of the very best wines of the vintage." 2018+
eROBERT PARKER 97 POINTS: "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. Anticipated maturity: 2013+."

wet stone, sea breeze and oyster shell complements to perfection the exquisitely detailed, firm and extract-rich flavors that possess arresting precision on the bone dry and painfully intense finish that does not seem to end. While neither the Preuses nor the Valmur have the same raw depth of material as the Les Clos, I will be shopping for both as they are genuinely brilliant. A classic Valmur of inimitable class that indisputably qualifies as a 'wow' wine." 2018+

one difference is that it's a bit more refined.

characterizes the rich, intense and overtly powerful and muscular flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the opulent yet precise and explosive long finish that is bone dry.

still noticeable). There is elevated ripeness to the openly exotic nose of yellow fruit, lemon and white flower aromas. Like the Vaudésir, this possesses exceptionally rich, overtly powerful and imposing big-bodied flavors that despite the impressive size and weight, retain a fine sense of precision and detail on the linear and explosive finish where a touch of menthol surfaces. This dramatic if not entirely typical effort should deliver up to a decade's worth of upside development potential."

and oyster shell. There is an opulent texture to the powerful, serious and large-scaled flavors where focus and precision is assured via a firm acid spine on the energetic and palate staining finish where the wood influence reappears as does a hint of youthful bitterness. However, there is so much dry extract that this shouldn't have any particular difficulty in successfully integrating the wood or dissipating the bitterness over time. This isn't really my style as I prefer edgier and racier Chablis but there is no question that this is really impressive with terrific upside development potential."
