Chablis Terroir De La Chapelle

Domaine Patrick Piuze is a recently founded but highly rated négociant business in Chablis, Burgundy, producing wines from numerous quality level with the local and ubiquitous Chardonnay grape. His own winery was founded in 2008. Although no vineyards are owned by Piuze, fruit is purchased from contract growers, many with old vines, who are advised by him regarding winegrowing processes. All fruit is harvested by hand. 

Vineyard "Terroir de la Chapelle" is located on a plateau on the left bank of the River Serein opposite the vineyards of Fourchaume and is one of the northernmost in the region. Its vines are never exposed to the bright sun, which, together with the Kimmeridgian limestone, gives the taste of the classic Chablis, marked on the map of the region as far back as the 12th century. 

Due to the limited exposure of the grapes to the Sun, this wine shows a bright, scintillating acidity and wide array of bright, fresh green and yellow fruits. Light to medium in body with chalky apple, ripe Asian pear and lime zest on the palate with mineral finish.
