 Tasted by zigzag on 2/9/2020: Fairly good mineralogy, very lemony (769 views)
 Tasted by Two Winos on 10/6/2019 & rated 91 points: Great Chablis at the price. Not grand or premier cru level, but it's not supposed to be. Crisp with great minerality. Wonderfully enjoyable. (688 views)
 Tasted by jonathanknowles on 8/2/2019 & rated 87 points: Lemon, peach, honeysuckle. Quite low acid, medium body, quite restrained and cool in the mouth. Marzipan and a bit of fat once the wine had warmed slightly. Not too rich. Very good restrained chardonnay. (669 views)
 Tasted by David_K on 5/31/2017 & rated 86 points: Eh. It's ok. Lacks energy, cut, and sizzle. Not overtly bad or flabby, just lacking any interest whatsoever. (1372 views)
 Tasted by kuumies on 3/5/2017: A true classic. Crisp lemon, apricot, smoke and iodine on the nose. Dry, savory and appropriately acidic on the palate. Very much restrained aromatically with notes of lemon, lees and crushed rock. There is terrific energy and a firm mouthfeel. Nice bitterness to the clean, mouth-watering finish. So authentic that in a way this wine is perfect; it accomplishes exactly what it is supposed to. (1590 views)
 Tasted by wa2ofd on 3/27/2016: The last of these beauties...Need to see if Dan has more! (1467 views)
 Tasted by wa2ofd on 3/25/2016: These wines have been great, should have purchased a case! (1293 views)
 Tasted by wa2ofd on 3/4/2016 & rated 89 points: What a good everyday Chablis should be...clean, tasty neither deep or complex... (1347 views)
 Tasted by jadi on 12/28/2015 & rated 87 points: Could use more time in cellar. Accompanies roast turkey quite nicely (1073 views)
 Tasted by BMCKIE99 on 11/26/2015 & rated 88 points: Nice wine but not all that exciting (1017 views)
 Tasted by dkstar1 on 10/19/2015 & rated 90 points: Having had the full lineup of the '14s, this is the best of Piuze's "Terroir de..." wines. This is really solid. I will buy more of this if and when I can find it. If this is his low end, wow...I'll be in for several treats in a few years when the 1ers and GCs will be ready. (687 views)

Burgundy

Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson

# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates

# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson

# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson

# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio

Chablis

Chablis (Fédération de Défense de l'Appellation Chablis) | Chablis (Burgundy Wines)

2014 Vintage Notes:
"... a hybrid of 2004/2007 and 2010. The stone, citrus and limestone amalgam is exactly what we search for in Chablis as the style harkens to a day in the Cote de Beaune proper (1960's - 1980's) when wine was not meant to be consumed the week it was released, battonage was not used by all and new oak was rarely seen ... the texture is natural and 'of the vintage' not 'of the winemaker' .... Like Sancerre or the Loire in general, 2014 in Chablis is one of those rare years with extract and transparency. It appears to be a vintage for the "neoclassic" ages and those of us intent on cellaring the most terroir-driven (but still powerful) examples of vineyard, site-place and varietal will want to invest (heavily) in the magnetic and electric 2014's." - Jon Rimmerman

2018 Vintage Notes:
"There’s not that razor sharp Chablis acidity in 2018,” says Patrick Piuze. “But there is good definition of place. The dry conditions drove vines to drink deeper down in the soil profile."
