 Tasted by Sleepy Dave on 6/1/2020: Decanted for 30mins.
Very expressive with just a touch of flint with cool lemony fruits. Refreshing entry, pretty mid palate richness and sappiness and lingering with salinity. Surprisingly easy going. (1121 views)
 Tasted by jmoon on 7/31/2019 & rated 92 points: Totally wonderful and enjoyable now... serve cold as quite fruity, but crunchy and delicious. (1701 views)
 Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 7/26/2019 & rated 90 points: Quite a ripe style, lightly honeyed, apples and flowers, pure and relaxed, beautiful minerality, soft acidity, slightly short finish. Nice wine. (1726 views)
 Tasted by CRUSHER on 2/10/2019 & rated 90 points: clean solid chablis (1354 views)
 Tasted by soyhead on 12/8/2018: Nose - spearmint, chalk, hint of smoke

 Tasted by srh on 6/9/2018: Winebar [4 Whites, 8 Reds, & 2 *shared* dessert wines] from 06/08/18 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): "From two parcels, both north-facing, very near to 1er Cru Montmains. Aged 50% in tanks and 50% in neutral barrels."--Importer 2,020 cs made

N: Closed; Apples atop minerals? Poss smoky flint?

P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE, almost swtish frt met by ZESTY acidity which directs the show into & through the LONG, tangy finish with ULT hints of honey. Deserves into EARLY '20, then drinking into '23? VERY nicely done! My EXC- with potential for more (though a fellow, more experienced taster WAS less impressed). 92 pts WS, 88 WA, & 87 Decanter. [This vendor's $28.95 puts it @ the top of wine-searcher's 4th quartile.] (1909 views)
 Tasted by melzar on 4/10/2018 & rated 91 points: Ditto previous notes. Unmistakable chablis. (1548 views)
 Tasted by melzar on 3/4/2018 & rated 91 points: Mineral driven wine. You can almost taste the chalk soil of the vineyards. Saline notes. Good (somewhat austere) fruit and acidity. Unmistakeable Chablis. (1343 views)
 Tasted by drwine2001 on 3/4/2018: Patrick Piuze Chablis and Marchand-Tawse Reds (San Francisco Wine Trading Company): Yellow. Ripe citrus. Medium weight, some glycerine. Lemony, excellent acidity, and good mineral finish. Very good basic Chablis. (2234 views)

 Tasted by WineTally on 2/11/2018: One of the Montreal native's village class, terroir-specific bottlings.
From two north facing parcels in Forêts and Boucheron. Aged 50% in tanks and 50% in neutral barrels.

A(ccuracy)=2: Med light straw/green tint. Tight, mildly yeasty varietal.
B(alance)=2: Delicate. Bit shy on vibrancy.
C(omplexity)=2: White tree fruits. Mineral.
D(epth)=2: Refined mouthfeel. Even kilt start to finish.

Wine Tally Score [2,2,2,2] = 8/10

Great example of wine "made in the vineyard"!

 Tasted by melzar on 2/6/2018 & rated 90 points: One of my favorite Chablis producer comes through again. Hate the wax capsule, love the wine. Good fruit and minerality. Village wine that drinks above it's pay grade (775 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."
