Description

Since his first harvest in 2008, Patrick Piuze has been causing a stir in Chablis. As a former winemaker of Domaine Jean-Marc Brocard - a major producer - he knows most of the wineries in the area. With access to the best quality Chardonnay grapes, Piuze makes fantastic wines. Bougros (15 ha) is one of seven Grand Cru vineyards on the large hill near the village of Chablis.

Jancis Robinson and Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate praise Patrick's wines to the skies. Piuze's signature is pure finesse with a distinctive terroir expression (flint) and layering in the wines. Unfortunately, production is very limited. Since 2010, we have been able to buy a few boxes of a Chablis (villages), Premier Cru and Grand Cru from a fragmented range of no fewer than 18 wines (!) ON = ON!

The Wine Advocate: One of the region's most active and dynamic micro-negociants (April 2014).

Drink at

Great to drink on its own, but also pairs seamlessly with refined seafood dishes.

Tasting note

Great finesse! The scent is remarkably open with nuances of pineapple, white peach and a light smokiness. The taste is powerful with citrus fruits and minerals in the minute aftertaste. After 7-10 years of aging in the bottle, notes of honey will also develop in the characteristic full and elegant taste. Promising!

shelf life

Easy to store ten years after harvest.
