Tonnerre 2016

The Patrick Piuze Tonnerre 2016 is a Chablis Premier Cru from the heart of Burgundy that demonstrates what Chardonnay can become in the hands of a purist. Patrick Piuze, a native Canadian and now one of the region's most celebrated winemakers, is dedicated to the uncompromising expression of terroir. His Wines are produced without fining, without filtration, and with minimal intervention – only in this way can the personality of the vineyard speak for itself.

The Tonnerre grapes grow on Kimmeridge limestone soils, which impart the wine with its characteristic flinty quality. The grapes are harvested by hand, spontaneously fermented, and aged in used barrels. Piuze deliberately avoids new oak to preserve the purity of the Chardonnay. The Patrick Piuze Tonnerre 2016 is the result of this radical clarity.

The nose reveals cool aromas of green apples, lemon zest, and a hint of flint. On the palate, a tension unfolds between a delicate salinity and vibrant acidity. The finish is long, mineral, and reminiscent of wet stones after a summer rain.
