2021 Patrick Piuze Bougros Chablis Grand Cru

Quebec born Patrick Piuze has worked widely across the globe, and after a short stint running his wine bar in Montreal he made the move to Burgundy to further explore his love for terroir driven wines. Patrick Piuze made a name for himself as an accomplished winemaker with his work at Olivier Leflaive, La Maison Verget, and finally as the cellar master at Jean-Marc Brocard. His experiences finally led to the decision to start his own winery business in 2008. It was a significant undertaking, yet with a passion for the region and his desire to promote the great terroirs of Chablis, Patrick is now one of the leading producers in the region.

Bougros, along with Les Preuses, was a later addition to the grand cru vineyards, and sits towards the northern end of the limestone-rich Kimmeridgian soil slopes. Lower down the hill, Bougros gets good sun exposure and while it can show more power and richness than some other grand cru sites, it still maintains an intense mineral core.
