Tasting notes
The 2018 Chablis Terroir de Fyé is quite open and inviting. Apricot, lemon confit, chamomile, marzipan and lightly honeyed notes show a rich, creamy expression of Chardonnay that is hugely appealing. Best of all, the 2018 will drink well right out of the gate. Readers should expect an ample, generous style here.

From the lower portion of Chapelot that isn't entitled to the premier cru appellation, Piuze's 2018 Chablis Terroir de Fyé wafts from the glass with aromas of pear, apples, fresh mint, beeswax and oyster shell. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with a racy but textural profile and a saline finish. One of the more elegant wines in this range, it's well worth seeking out.
Touches Chapelot on the west-to-southwest edge, this has stonier character to the nose with lemon and grapefruit aromas and flavors, as well as a very fresh, mineral wash to close. Drink now.
