96 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2019 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru is aged in barrel for 12 months and then six months in stainless steel. The bouquet is very generous and concentrated. The oak barrel perhaps leaning a little too heavily on the fruit profile, yet still very attractive. The palate is beautifully balanced and powerful, offering tangy marmalade and orange peel notes. It remains strict and linear toward the finish, where hints of chamomile and white chocolate lend complexity on the long aftertaste. Superb. Drink: 2025-2050. (Oct 2021)" 94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Aromas of orange oil, mirabelle plum, citrus blossom, oyster shell and pastry cream introduce Billaud's 2019 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered wine that's elegantly textural, bright and concentrated. Concluding with a long, saline finish, it has turned out very well indeed. Drink: 2025-2045. (8/5/21)"
94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Pure pale light colour. A thrilling but very backward nose, exceptional intensity. The 2019 Les Preuses has not lost any finesse, though the structure is almost a bit too blocky with the power of the vintage. Enough acidity. We will need to wait a long time for this to show all its potential. Tasted: July 2021."
