The 2024 Patrick Piuze Chablis Les Bas de Chapelot is a distinctive Chardonnay from a small vineyard situated below the renowned Chapelots climat in Chablis. Introduced to Patrick Piuze's range in 2023, this terroir-driven wine combines the freshness and mineral precision of Chablis with a slightly richer fruit profile, reflecting the character of this unique site.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright natural acidity and a silky, finely textured mouthfeel. Flavours of pear, lime and white peach are layered with subtle citrus, saline minerality and a gentle chalky finish. Partial fermentation and ageing in older oak add texture while allowing the purity of the Chardonnay and vineyard character to remain the focus.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, the 2024 Patrick Piuze Chablis Les Bas de Chapelot is an excellent choice for those seeking a refined, mineral-driven Chablis with added texture and complexity. It pairs beautifully with oysters, scallops, grilled lobster, sashimi or roast chicken. Enjoy now for its freshness and precision, or cellar over the next 8–10 years as it develops additional depth and savoury complexity.
