Butteaux Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay
Oak treatment deceives on the nose. Palate displays beautiful weight and texture without gratuitous barrel influence. Butteaux is known for exuding richness, especially in warmer vintages and Piuze delivers without sacrificing acidic tension, fruit purity, and
minerality. Beautiful wine. Decant if drinking now.

Cool how 8 years takes a good Chablis and makes it something else altogether (and for me profound). Sharp edges and tangy citrus have faded in favour of musky citrus and tropical fruit, an almost smoky resin and a long finish loaded with minerals. ❤️

Feb 25th, 2018Rich and textured, but still a vein of Chablis acidity and minerality.

Apr 7th, 2016Christmas eve calls for good wines. Tight, citrus peel, big matchstick note. This definitely needs to be revisited in a few years, though so damn good now
