The Grand Cru of Preuses covers approximately 11 hectares, Simonnet-Febvre's Preuses is from their domaine vineyards. Unlike the Les Clos, Preuses does not undergo any time in barrel as winemaker Jean-Philippe Archambaud believes that the character of this grand cru is better expressed without it. However the wine still has considerable richness derived from the character of the grapes and extended lees ageing and will be at its best between 5 and 10 years after the vintage.
Tasting note
A very complex wine, showing a good balance between the mineral aromas of the bouquet and the richness of flavours on the palate.
