2023 Chablis Blanchots

A striking contrast to the muscular Bougros, the 2023 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchots is more classically proportioned and less powerful. From a site that often delivers rather introverted, even slightly austere wines, Patrick Piuze's interpretation captures freshness and precision but with an elegantly textural attack and depth, offering scents of oyster shell, lemon zest, peach and iodine. Concentrated, multidimensional and laden with tangy acids, it concludes with a mouthwateringly saline finish. It will offer a broad and long enjoyment window.
