Description

Patrick’s main intention is to make a real difference between "wine grower" and "winemaker". He doesn’t own any vineyard but has a strong influence as a counsellor for the wine growers. He established a trust building approach and a long-term partnership towards wine growers.

This philosophy enables him to pick the best lots in Chablis, most of them of very old vineyards, to collect high quality grapes.

He mainly purchases grapes and provides a varied wine range from Chablis (four different vineyards) to Grands Crus (six references, among which Les Preuses and Grenouilles) and eleven Premiers Crus. Thus, 110.000 bottles has been produced.

Through his wines, Patrick Piuze has always been intent on revealing the true character of Chablis and its wide-ranging terroirs and vineyards.

New to the line up in 2023. A very special site planted in 1982 situated below the Chapelots climat in the premier cru Montée de Tonnerre.

Review
This is the first vintage of the Chablis “Le Bas de Chapelôt” from Patrick Piuze. It is made from a 1.9 hectare parcel of forty-plus year-old vines and has turned out excellently in its debut vintage. The wine’s nose is bright and complex, offering up scents of pear, tart orange, anise, a lovely base of chalky soil tones, citrus zest and a topnote of white flowers. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a good core of fruit, fine soil signature and grip and a long, poised and zesty finish. A lovely new addition to the lineup.
