2023 Chablis Butteaux

Issuing from a parcel of 80-year-old vines in clay-rich soils, Patrick Piuze's 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux is another success this year. More complete than Montmains, it’s a flamboyant wine, soaring from the glass with a bouquet of iodine, elderflower, peach and tangerine zest. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied and layered, with great cut, tangy acidity and a long, saline finish. More powerful and fleshier than Séchet, it delivers no less enjoyment. It’s well worth seeking out.
