The 2022 Patrick Piuze Chablis Premier Cru Forêts is a classic white Burgundy from one of Chablis' most highly regarded Premier Cru vineyards. Sourced from old Chardonnay vines rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone soils, it offers a precise and mineral-driven expression of the site, with aromas of citrus oil, pear, white flowers and subtle flinty notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully layered texture. Flavours of lemon zest, green apple and ripe pear are complemented by chalky minerality, a subtle saline edge and delicate hints of honey and citrus blossom. The finish is long, focused and refined, with excellent balance and impressive ageing potential.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, the 2022 Patrick Piuze Chablis Premier Cru Forêts is an excellent choice for lovers of premium Chablis with precision, depth and mineral purity. It pairs beautifully with oysters, scallops, grilled lobster, sashimi or roast chicken. Enjoy now after a short decant, or cellar confidently over the next 8–12 years as it develops additional complexity and savoury nuance.
