“Here is a truly thrilling new producer of hand-crafted Chablis, designed to showcase the individuality of different terroirs, not just at premier (and one grand) cru level, but within that very substantial area devoted to AC Chablis.” — Jancis Robinson
“This is the best address to explore the Chablis AOC, as Piuze produces a number of cuvées and lieu-dit bottlings designed to highlight the diversity that this large appellation encompasses. 2017s at this address are an unmitigated success, classic in profile, with charming fruit but tangy balancing acids.”— William Kelley Wine Advocate.

2017 Patrick Piuze Chablis Terroir de Fye • $384 case of twelve “Of all Piuze's Chablis AOC bottlings, the 2017 Chablis Terroir de Fyé is the most structural, its attractive bouquet of peach, Meyer lemon and smoky reduction introducing an ample, medium to full-bodied wine that's still firm and compressed on the finish. It will benefit from a year or two in bottle.” — William Kelley Wine Advocate
~And His Killer Premier Cru Les Forets~
2017 Patrick Piuze Chablis Premier Cru Les Forêts • $360 6pack
91-93 Points Vinous “The 2017 Chablis Les Forêts 1er Cru has a clean and precise bouquet, lovely granite and limestone scents emerging, plus a touch of blackcurrant leaf. The palate is very well balanced with a spicy, ginger and rhubarb tinged opening, great tension and a long and persistent finish. Excellent.”— Neal Martin
92-94 Points Wine Advocate “The 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Les Forêts is also very promising, offering up notes of crisp peach, iodine, green apple and beeswax. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with a lovely sense of completeness and harmony, concluding with a saline finish.” — William Kelley |
