Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses: The vineyards are on an exposed southwest facing slope dominating its Grand Cru neighbors. The soil is a mixture of marl and chalky Kimmeridgian.

Les Preuses covers 11.80ha and sits above Bougros on a gentle slope (bar one location which is fairly aggressively steep and stony). The topsoil is deeper than the rest and was regarded 2nd rate for this reason pre-1930. The rock is fractured and allows for very good drainage. The resulting wines have flesh without heaviness and of course minerality.
