Patrick Piuze
Originally from Montreal, Patrick Piuze’s wine journey started when he was just 18 and met Marc Chapoutier. The great Rhône luminary obviously made an impression on young Patrick, because after working briefly in a wine bar in Canada he took the personal gamble to de-camp to Burgundy to pursue his passion for wine-making (in 2000). Piuze managed to land a position at Olivier Leflaive and worked also at Verget, before his own micro négociant business in Chablis in 2008.
Patrick Piuze is passionate about Chablis’ special terroir and sources grapes from the best terroirs and the most meticulous growers. Patrick Piuze’s knowledge of Chablis’ terroirs runs deep, and his wines are pure expressions of Chardonnay. He is widely praised for achieving a balance between Chablis’ characteristic minerality and Chardonnay’s fleshy fruit.

Wine Advocate (92+)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. |

Wine Advocate (92)The 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons Les Minots is showing very well, mingling aromas of crisp Anjou pear and green apple with scents of white flowers, marzipan and fresh stone fruits. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with chewy structuring extract, good precision and a stony finish. |

Vinous (93)The 2017 Chablis Blanchots Grand Cru is powerful, dense and creamy, with notes of orange peel, spice, dried pear, and hazelnut. Ample and aromatically expressive, the Blanchots is all about texture. Tropical fruit, spice and vanillin accents add to its forward, open-knit personality. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2020 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru has a much more expressive nose than the Bougros at this stage, offering lifted lime flower and orange blossom scents, though perhaps there is less mineralité at the moment. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, showing just a little creaminess. Almond and chamomile notes appear toward the finish. Give this 3–4 years in bottle. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2020 Chablis La Grande Vallée, from Les Pargues, has one of the more mineral-driven bouquets from Piuze, displaying superb delineation. The vibrant, zesty palate is saline on the entry, and the harmonious orange peel and and grapefruit finish delivers superb weight. Excellent. |

Wine Advocate (92-94)Piuze told me that his 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos had become atypically aromatic during its élevage, and that it was only just now beginning to shut down. So, I prefer to offer only a bracketed score for this full-bodied, broad and voluptuous wine that's evocative of musky peach and honeycomb. I'll be tasting it again next year. |

Vinous (94)The 2019 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a beautifully defined bouquet of quince, marmalade and light honeysuckle aromas. The palate is tightly wound, with crisp acidity, and very linear. The saline finish lingers in the mouth. Good potential. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2020 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru is very reduced on the nose, although there seems to be good concentration here and Piuze commented that this is nothing unusual. The palate is well balanced, quite primal, rich and slightly honeyed, leading to a powerful finish where I am just seeking a little more delineation. Let’s see how this turns out in bottle. |

Burghound (92-95)An elegant, pure and quite airy nose freely reveals its combination of white flowers, essence of poached pear, anise, mineral reduction and shellfish. The delicious and more refined if less powerful flavors possess a Zenlike sense of harmony on the mineral-driven, balanced and beautifully long finale. This will need to develop more depth with time in bottle but that is one of the strong points of a fine Preuses – it almost always develops well. (92-95)/2030+ |

Vinous (89)The 2021 Chablis Terroirs de Chablis has a silvery glint in the glass. The nose is quite intense, well-defined with bright green apple and crushed rock aromas, gaining intensity in the glass. The palate is clean and fresh with fine acidity, quite austere on the entry but delivers attractive light white peach and clementine notes towards the finish. Enjoy this over the next six to eight years. |
