2021 Patrick Piuze Les Preuses 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.
Les Preuses is an excellent plot within the grand cru Chablis vineyards, situated at the northern end higher up the slope from Bougros. Excellent access to sunlight, along with the limestone bedrock below the vineyard, allows the wines from Les Preuses to balance richness with exquisite finesse.
