Patrick Piuze, Chablis Premier Cru 'Les Butteaux' 2023 Gamay Some lesser known red varieties

Some lesser known red varieties in this one

this is a super fresh and lively Gamay from the famous cellars of Lapierre

This one’s an equal blend of old vines grown on granite and volcanic sandstone

from dense fruit through nuts and spices

so there's a fair bit of concentration going on here

Patrick Piuze, Chablis Premier Cru 'Les Butteaux' 2023 Gamay Some lesser known red varietiesPlace: Burgundy, France Grape: Chardonnay Vibe: Classic, textural The deep clay soils of the Butteaux site do excellently in warmer years, which '23 was. So guess how good the end result is? Nutty and citrusy at first with a buttery, creamy palate balanced with bright acid, sharp salinity and a satiny mouthfeel. Another banger from Burg's favourite Canadian import. ABV: 12%
