Chablis Butteaux Piuze 2018 (750ML)

92+ Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Notes of green apple, lime, oyster shell and iodine introduce Piuze's 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux, a medium to full-bodied, ample and attractively layered wine that's concentrated, cool and controlled, with tangy acids and a saline finish. This cuvée derives from a parcel of 75-year-old vines in clay-rich soils that have weathered the warm vintage conditions very well." 08/19

92+ Points, John Gilman, View From the Cellar: "Patrick's 2018 Butteaux is also an outstanding wine in the making. The bouquet is pure and absolutely classic in personality, delivering a combination of lemon, apple, pear, chalky soil tones, paraffin and a topnote of apple blossoms. On the palate the wine is pure, complex and shows off excellent mid-palate depth, with a bright girdle of acidity, lovely focus and grip, impeccable balance and a long, complex finish. Just a lovely bottle. 2023-2050+" 12/19
