"I love the Dauvissat family’s les Preuses and the 2014 version is going to be a legendary vintage for this wine. The stunning bouquet delivers a fine, complex constellation of pear,. Tart orange, lemon, a touch of oyster shell, beautiful chalkiness, white flowers and a bit of citrus zest in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and totally mineral in personality, with a rock solid core, great focus and grip and enormous vibrancy and poised and rocketing finish. A brilliant, brilliant vintage of les Preuses chez Dauvissat."

2014 in Burgundy is a benchmark white vintage, tense, fresh and mineral, though Cote de Beaune hail cut yields; the reds are balanced and classically proportioned, with good freshness and medium-term aging potential.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
