Patrick Piuze Chablis Terroir Decouverte

FRANCE: BURGUNDY - WHITE - CHABLIS

Size750MLVintage2022SKU25325

Derived from a late-ripening site that touches Vaulorent, Piuze's 2022 Chablis Terroir Decouverte exhibits aromas of orange oil, pear, white flowers and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, bright and layered, with lively acids and a penetrating, saline finish, it's a fine effort.

Size750MLVintage2018SKU29447

The Defaix domaine owns 3.5 hectares of this 5 hectare 1er Cru. The resulting wine is long-lived and displays remarkable finesse and length, a classic Chablis. One often encounters the flavors and aromas of bergamot, acacia and honey in the Les Lys alongside a compelling freshness, a wine of excellent tension.

A tangy version, offering lemon, apple and earth flavors, with a chalky feel as this plays out on the moderately long finish.

There is an interesting, if very subtle, minty character to the ripe, expressive and attractively layered nose of both white and yellow peach, nectarine and iodine along with a plethora of floral elements. There is outstanding volume to the almost painfully intense flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the hugely persistent finale. This is a serious and very powerful built-to-age effort so at least some patience will be required.
