Located in the heart of the Chablis Grand Cru hillside, Patrick Piuze produces Les Preuses from steep Kimmeridgian limestone vineyards overlooking the Serein River. This Grand Cru site is known for its elegance and refined mineral character. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts followed by ageing in stainless steel and older oak barrels to enhance complexity. The cooler 2021 vintage delivered precision and freshness. Compared with Bougros, Les Preuses often shows greater finesse, combining citrus, white peach and saline minerality with vibrant acidity and long, graceful finish. https://patrickpiuze.com/
