Patrick Piuze
Vaulorent Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay
Chablis, Burgundy, France
Piuze in his typically accidentally oxidiZed style. Kinda got beat by a Tribut villages from an inferior vintage.

Jul 30th, 2017Wow great example of what 1er cru should be. Typicity and transparency for days. Loving this!

Jun 29th, 2017This bottle showed a little better than the last, though the color was still a bit deep. Nice Chablis characteristics and a good pairing for a festival day!

Jun 19th, 2017A better showing than my first bottle, about 14 months later, but not a knockout and less racy than I had hoped. It did improve when paired with oysters, which filled in some missing tasting notes. Something I would expect from a villages wine at best. Continuing to drink up these wines as my faith in their ageability is all but nonexistent. Sansom St

Mar 5th, 2017I think first time with this vineyard in Patrick's hands. On opening I thought "uh oh" and "not again." Definitely showing some oxidation and flattened acidity, notes of tropics, etc. Came around a little bit, certainly isn't fully premoxed but not at all where I expected this to be 3 years into life.
