Description

Vincent says: “As great as Chablis can be, unfortunately there’s also a sea of mediocrity out there. Patrick Piuze was one of those discoveries a little while back that helped show the other side of what’s possible. Incredibly drinkable, with much greater complexity than you often see within the appellation. Certainly passes the 2nd glass test, as I often find that the entire bottle is gone way too quickly!”

Hailing originally from Montreal, Canada, Patrick Piuze has now spent over a decade in Chablis, having established his eponymous label in 2008. As a negociant, he works closely with growers from which he purchases fruit without owning the vineyards himself. Working across the various levels of Chablis’ appellation stem, Piuze’s Terroir de Chichée (meaning, terroir of Chichée) represents his ‘village’ expression in which he works across the region highlighting the often overlooked individuality which villages have from each other. This comes from a plateau near a highly regarded Premier Cru Vaucoupin. Patrick’s deft hand in the cellar leads to a wine of incredible purity built around texture and transparent expression of where it has come from.
