2024 Patrick Piuze Terroir de Fye Chablis

Patrick Piuze has a simple philosophy to wine making, let the terroir speak for itself and technique should take a back seat. The portfolio of wines in his terroir series across the Chablis AOC pick up individuality in vineyards ranging from age worthy Grand Cru to youthful Petit Chablis. "Terroir de Fye" highlights the unique minerality coming from the region's famous Kimmeridgian soils (composed of sea shell fossils and limestone). Closer to Champagne geographically than to the rest of Burgundy, Chablis wines have a tingling acidity that is unmistakable. The village of Fye lies just east of the Grand Cru vineyard Blanchot. Fresh and clean minerality, with notes of lemon zest and star fruit. An elevated and casual wine, it captures the purity of great Chablis in the glass.
