2023 Patrick Piuze Chablis "La Grande Vallée", Burgundy, France

Bright, mineral, and finely chiseled, the 2023 Chablis "La Grande Vallée" from Patrick Piuze is a classic expression of unoaked Chardonnay from the northernmost reaches of Burgundy. Aromas of lemon zest, green apple, crushed oyster shell, and white flowers lead into a taut, racy palate with vibrant acidity and a clean, saline finish. It’s a precise, terroir-driven Chablis that captures the region’s limestone purity.

ABOUT THIS WINE

“La Grande Vallée” is a village-level Chablis sourced from parcels in and around the Vaillons valley on the left bank of the Serein River. The soils here are dominated by Kimmeridgian limestone, giving the wine its hallmark minerality and tension. The 2023 vintage brought fresh, balanced conditions that favored aromatic clarity and crisp acidity.

Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts, and the wine is aged in neutral vessels—primarily stainless steel and older barrels—to maintain freshness and transparency. The result is a wine with citrus, green fruit, and chalky depth, made in Piuze’s signature incisive style.
