Patrick Piuze 'Vaillons Les Minots' Chablis Premier Cru 2022
The 'Vaillons Les Minots' is a distinctive, single-parcel Chablis from Patrick Piuze’s top selection within the Vaillons vineyard. Sourced from 70-year-old vines, this wine captures the vineyard’s steep slope, limestone-rich soils, and excellent sun exposure, which contribute to its depth and purity.
Piuze’s low-intervention approach ensures the wine speaks for itself: the hand-harvested fruit undergoes native yeast fermentation in stainless steel, followed by aging in neutral oak barrels for added texture without overpowering the freshness. The result is a layered and expressive Chablis with remarkable precision and energy.
Appearance: Brilliant pale gold with subtle greenish hues.
Nose: Intense citrus oil, ripe pear, crushed limestone, and white floral aromatics.
Palate: Silky yet vibrant, featuring juicy Meyer lemon, honeyed apple, and a pronounced saline edge, finishing with crisp minerality.
