Patrick Piuze Chablis 'Terroirs de Courgis' 2021

In 2000, Quebec-born Patrick Piuze started a one-month internship at Olivier Leflaive’s Chablis-based négociant thinking he might soon return to his wine bar in Montreal. Twenty-two vintages later and Patrick is still in Burgundy, making his name with a stunning array of Chablis lieu-dit bottlings.

Having worked with Jean-Marie Guffens of Verget and later as cellar master for Jean-Marc Brocard, Patrick established his own négociant operation in 2008, tapping his close connections to source exemplary fruit from across Chablis, including eleven 1er Crus and six Grand Crus – many of which are farmed by shareholders in his domaine.

Steely and refined, Piuze’s 2021s showcase all there is to like about classic Chablis and will appeal to those on the quest to find top-quality artisanal white Burgundy.

One of Piuze’s finest village-level cuvées, this displays smoky citrus fruit, apple, and pear on the mid-palate through to the lively, mineral-tinged finish.
