Bottle List Favorite - New Selection from Patrick Piuze

Cheerful and frank, Patrick Piuze is one of Chablis's great personalities. There is no denying that his presence has enriched the region since starting his eponymous small négoce house in 2008 (just down the road from Dauvissat). In the cellar, the approach is simple: Piuze keeps different terroirs separate, producing numerous different cuvées, including multiple bottlings from the Chablis AOC, making his house the best address to explore the diversity of northern Burgundy.

Everything is harvested by hand, with Piuze employing his own team. He is also a comparatively early harvester. The grapes are pressed slowly and firmly in old Vaslin presses, gravity-fed into a combination of second-hand barrels (mostly from Champagne) and stainless steel. The sur lie élevage is intentionally short (7-9 months), as Piuze aims to capture maximum freshness and vitality.

2022 Patrick Piuze Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent
BH93 (Outstanding), JM93, WA91
"Elegant and ripe yet cool aromas include those of a blend of white orchard fruit, spice, citrus confit and a hint of seaweed character. The utterly delicious bigger-bodied flavors brim with sappy dry extract that adds a sense of power to the sappy and palate coating finish that offers notably better depth and persistence.
The Butteaux is quite good but the Vaulorent is at another level."
-Allen Meadows

2022 Patrick Piuze Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre
BH93, JM92, CT94
Pale in colour. The bouquet is discreet at first, almost austere, but then develops some honeysuckle. Excellent tension, sun on the stones, ripe yellow fruit, very good acidity. Totally authentic Montée de Tonnerre. Drink from 2027-2035.

2022 Patrick Piuze Chablis Grand Cru Blanchots
WA93, BH93, JM93
"The 2022 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchots is very promising, bursting with aromas of orange zest, citrus blossom, buttery pastry and fresh hazelnuts. Full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's elegantly textural, with attractive mid-palate depth and purity."
-William Kelley
