20% Viognier, 20% Grenache blanc, 20% Clairette, 15% Roussane, 15% Marsanne, 10% Bourboulenc, all from vines averaging about 20 years of age, planted in sandy and clayish slopes with northern exposure. This is a typically Mediterranean climate, with little rain and a strong mistral wind. Hand-...

50% Grenache and 50% Syrah; half of the grapes for the blend are de-classified Laudun Village and half are just outside the appellation. The terroir of Laudun distinguishes Pélaquié from other southern Rhône appellations. The wines from this side of the river typically have higher acidity, with...

21% Grenache Blanc, 21% Roussanne, 21% Bourbelenc, 21% Clairette and 15% Picpoul. 5% of the Roussanne is fermented in new oak for 6 weeks, then aged in stainless steel. No malolactic.  It’s uncommon to find Bourboulenc in a CdP Blanc; Alexandre likes it in the blend because it tends to have lower...

New! 100% Marsanne from the tiny appellation of Saint-Peray, south of Cornas. Serrette purchased land here and planted vines in 2017. The soil is typical with granite and gore. The vines have north, north-east exposure. Made entirely in stainless steel. Total production is only 600 bottles.

From a parcel in Beine on the west side of Chablis. Vinified and aged in tank. Bright acidity with more tropical fruit.

Fyé comes from a 2.5 hectare parcel surrounding a little chateau that you can see from the top of the Grand Cru hill near the subclimate, Chapelot in 1er Cru Montee de Tonnerre. This vineyard sits just opposite Blanchots. Fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks and 30% barrel. Fyé is...

Vau de Vay only gets morning sun and wind enters the valley from the north making this a cooler climate. The topsoil is shallow and sits on Kimmeridgian marl. Like all of Piuze’s 1er and Grand Cru the wine is fermented and aged in neutral barrels.

From a vineyard near the eponymous village on the right bank of the Serein and very near to the 1er Cru Mont de Milieu. Fermented and aged 50% in tank and 50% in neutral barrels.

From vines planted in 1956 that are located on the plateau. Fermented and aged in neutral barrels. This site tends to give wines that are rich and bold. Patrick has learned over the years how to work with the site, taming the richness and getting nice grapefruit pith notes to balance the wine. It’s...

Piuze now gets fruit from all three subclimates of Montmains: Butteaux, Forets, and Montmains. He gets fruit from a half a hectare and this wine tends to be the most austere of the three as there is very little topsoil and the vines grow right on the bedrock. The wine is fermented and aged entirely...

From a small parcel in the lieu-dit Petit Preuses, which sits just next to Grand Cru Bougros. Because of the orientation, it’s not Grand Cru, but it’s an excellent terroir. Most Petit Chablis is from Portlandian limestone, this one is grown on Kimmeridgian limestone, which is quite rare giving more...

From 75 year old vines on Kimmeridgian limestone and clay soil. Butteaux is a sub-climate of 1er Cru Montmains. A chalky soil mixed with clay gives this left bank 1er Cru richness.

Sechets is a sub-climat of 1er Cru Vaillons. Minots is the warmest part of the valley; as the valley opens up, the sites are cooler. This wine has nice concentration with passion fruit and a salty minerality.

Roncières is a sub-climat of Vaillons with 35 year-old vines and eastern exposure. A quintessential Chablis that checks all of the boxes, full fruit, structure, and racey acidity, all in perfect balance.

New cuvee in 2020 - from a parcel that touches 1er Cru Butteaux. Fermented and aged 60% in barrel and 40% in tank.

From two parcels, both north-facing, very near to 1er Cru Montmains. Fermented and aged in tank. Juicy mandarine and stoney on the palate.

From a single-vineyard just next to 1er Cru Vaulorent, the north facing side of the Grand Cru hill, named Des Couverts. The vineyard lies in a cool corridor and is typically the last wine to be harvested. Nice fruity attack complemented with a salty finish. Fermented and aged in stainless steel...

A tiny plot planted in 1967. Aged for 12 months in barrels (20% new) and another three-four months in tank.
