The Vintage 2018 It presents itself as rich, structured, and yet clearly defined. Piuze works exclusively with excellent grapes from old vines, and you can feel it in every layer: the concentration, the saline minerality, the precise tension – all of this combines to create a Chablis that delights both collectors and purists.

Bougros is one of the most powerful Grand Crus From Chablis: The plateau yields wines with depth, volume, and a vibrant energy. The 2018 vintage demonstrates this particularly clearly – a Chablis that not only reveals its origin but celebrates it.

Tasting notes

Color

Bright gold with greenish reflections – clear, brilliant and dense at the same time.

Nose

Ripe peaches, pears, and a hint of almond paste – along with limestone, sea breeze, and delicate roasted aromas. The fragrance is both generous and taut.

palate

Dense, energetic, yet precise: yellow stone fruit, lemon, chalk, salty minerality, and a hint of brioche. The texture is structured, almost muscular, supported by vibrant acidity and captivating tension.

Final

Long, mineral, dry and clear as a blow from pure limestone. A finish that lingers – deep, salty and full of character.

Serving suggestion

• Ideally from one Burgundian white wine glass or a wide tasting glass.
