Tasting notes

Piuze's Les Préuses delivers striking mineral intensity with layers of white flowers, green apple, and crushed chalk on the nose. The palate opens with vibrant acidity underpinning flavors of lemon curd, oyster shell, and ripe pear, with a saline, almost briny tension that is quintessentially Chablis. The texture is precise and focused, with a long, stony finish that lingers with exceptional persistence and elegance.

About this wine

Patrick Piuze sources this Chardonnay from Les Preuses, one of Chablis's seven Grand Cru climats, known for producing wines of density and precision. The wine is vinified to let the site speak, with Kimmeridgian limestone giving the backbone.

On the table it shows the classic Grand Cru Chablis combination of weight and cut: broad on the palate, bright with citrus and a chalky, oyster-shell minerality through the finish. Serve cool with shellfish, oily fish such as turbot or salmon, or a wedge of ripe Brie.
