Chablis Grand Cru Bougros

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 viticultural processes. All fruit is harvested by hand. 

Bougros microclimate lies at the very western end of the Grands Crus area, at altitudes ranging from 130 to 170 m on fairly deep marl and clay terrain with a southwest exposure. On the palate, this appellation’s wines are often very full and rich.

Pale, bright green-yellow in color. Aromas of lemon peel and white grapefruit are complemented by honeyed high tones on the nose. Gives an initially sweet impression but the wine's white peach fruit and silky texture are leavened by bright acidity. Concentrated, energetic and quite long, with a lightly tannic finish.
