2019 | Simonnet-Febvre | Preuses

On the nose there are floral, smoky and mineral aromas. Once aged there is also a flinty aroma, as well as notes of spices, pollen and honey. Finesse, delicacy and minerality characterize this wine. Initially it is gentle in the mouth, but later becomes stronger and then maintains this strength.

Reviews:

• Jasper Morris: Les Preuses is showing with a more vegetal character compared to the floral Blanchot, yet with significantly more density of fruit, which it should have. Satisfying weight at the finish. This cuvée is made entirely in stainless steel.

• James Suckling: Lovely orange-blossom nose with a ripe-orange note that slowly emerges as it aerates. Then freshly mown meadows. Concentrated and elegant with tons of chalky and salty minerality, making this is a very classic Chablis.

Producer Information

The Maison and Domaine of Simonnet-Febvre were founded in 1840 by Jean Febvre, a barrel maker by trade from Montbard. In the early days, the house was known for its sparkling Chardonnays from Chablis, known today as Crémant de Bourgogne. Over the years, the Febvres acquired holdings in some of the greatest terroirs in Chablis. Today, the Domaine comprises approximately 9 acres, crowned by a 2/3-acre plot in the Grand Cru vineyard of Les Preuses, with 3.5 acres of Premier Cru Mont de Milieu and 4.7 acres of communal Chablis vineyards. Maison Louis Latour acquired Simonnet-Febvre in 2003. Since its purchase, the Latours have entirely renovated the winemaking facilities, installing new stainless steel tanks and pneumatic presses. The vineyards have been reworked with the same sustainable vineyard practices utilized in Latour's 125-acre domain in the Côte d'Or. Maison Louis Latour also hired a talented new winemaker, Jean-Philippe Archambaud.
