Tasting notes
Notes of green apple, lime, oyster shell and iodine introduce Piuze's 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux, a medium to full-bodied, ample and attractively layered wine that's concentrated, cool and controlled, with tangy acids and a saline finish. This cuvée derives from a parcel of 75-year-old vines in clay-rich soils that have weathered the warm vintage conditions very well.

Beautifully ripe and glossy peaches and apricots with hints of brulée on the nose and palate. This is open now and thereâs a very late, sleek line of mineral, saline character that arrives super late at the finish. Itâs all here. Pay attention to the late line of minerals on the finish. Drink now or wait ten or more years.
