Christophe et Fils Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses 2021
About the wine
Sebastien's luxurious Grand Cru is one of the crown jewels of Chablis
-
If you’ve ever tasted a wine from Chablis, you’ll know this region is famous for rich and elegant whites loaded with intense fruit flavours and creamy oak complexity. It’s a white wine lover’s paradise, but what you may not know is there’s another level above your regular Chablis. And this is it.
-
If a top-notch Chablis is a 10/10, Sebastien’s Grand Cru kit breaks the scale. This is an exceptionally rare and prized wine - only made at 7 sites around the region - that’s very tricky to get your hands on. Luckily, you have an in with Chablis superstar Sebastien Christophe, who’s brought this super-posh drop to the UK, just for wine-lovers like you to enjoy.
-
Tasting this wine is quite a journey. First, it’s got those lovely rich, intense fruit aromas that Chablis is famous for, with notes of tropical peach and pineapple. Then you take a sip and it’s just got layers upon layers of flavour that hit all corners of the palate. It’s like yummy peaches and cream with just the subtlest hint of vanilla from the oak, and it’s so subtle, so excellent. It’s really delicious right now, but if you were ever going to age a white wine… we can only dream of the possibilities.

- So we were thrilled when we found Sebastien - he has created some marvellous Chablis and has a real passion for the history of the wine.
- We only went out to buy one of his wines... but they were so good we ended up with a bunch of beauties!
