Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses
Perched on the hill of Chablis Grands Crus and facing south to southwest, the Les Preuses vineyard dominates the landscape like a natural promontory. Its name comes from the word pierre (stone), evoking the stony path that once crossed these slopes. Here, brown clay soils meet Kimmeridgian limestone marl, shaping wines of energy and character.
Appearance: Pale gold with subtle green reflections.
Nose: Dense and elegant, with floral and fruity notes lifted by precise minerality.
Palate: Delicate and alluring, with a fine touch of oak and a long, vibrant, mouth-watering finish. A wine where elegance meets power.
Food Pairing:
Perfect with sea bass carpaccio and truffle, free-range guinea fowl with cabbage, langoustines in beurre blanc, or fine cheeses such as Comté, Beaufort, and fresh goat’s cheese.

Nestled in Fleys, a quaint village of just 150 inhabitants on Chablis’ eastern hills, Domaine Gautheron spans 30 hectares across three AOPs: Petit Chablis, Chablis, and Chablis Premier Cru. Its vineyards are planted on four distinguished climats: Vaucoupin, Les Fourneaux, Mont de Milieu, and L’Homme Mort.
A family-owned estate for more than seven generations, Domaine Gautheron is now led by Cyril Gautheron, with the support of his father Alain, crafting some of the appellation’s most refined wines.
Cyril is dedicated to expressing the unique character of each terroir, producing graceful wines that preserve Chablis’ crisp, traditional elegance. From the approachable Petit Chablis to the finely sculpted Premier Cru wines, Domaine Gautheron enjoys wide recognition in the international wine trade for its finesse and authenticity.
