Patrick Piuze
La grande Vallée Chablis Chardonnay
This wine has a nice array of succulent and vibrant pomaceous and stonefruit with an even more impressive nose of cherry and apple blossoms. Marzipan, chalk, and perhaps a slight botrytis note balance the rest of the nose and palate. Impressed by the rather overt character upfront and how easily it glides across the palate with the brisk acidity here. Seriously punching above its weight and seriously regretting only buying 1 bottle.

Need to add to the home stock. Oh yeah, I’m Bragg’s on the beauty of my wifey today...why she look like she glowing and without make-up. Beautiful beyond words. And oh yeah, to me the wine is crisp, lightly buttery but still slightly sweet (just enough), smells & tastes of pear & crisp apple.
