From the commune of Vaulicheres, east of Chablis. South-facing, single vineyard. This is my first ever bottle of Piuze, although I have seen his wines recommended here frequently.
I have been buying and enjoying Chablis for at least the last four years, inspired by a WSJ article. Other wines in my recent order included Domaines Pinson, Laroche, and Pattes Loup. Piuze seems to have a long list of different bottlings. May have to try others.
This was poured from a Coravin. Medium weight. Light straw color. Flavors of citrus and yellow apple with a delicate minerality. Good acidity. Pairing: Chicken with cashew nut. Some value here at this level for $35!

Roland Lavantureux also makes an excellent Tonnerre, but it’s a little hard to find here in the U.S.
Looks nice. I’d sure love to try something like this with some chicken with veggies or some mountain trout. 🙂
