The 2024 Patrick Piuze Chablis Premier Cru Butteaux is a terroir-driven white Burgundy from one of the finest Premier Cru vineyards on Chablis' left bank. Planted on Kimmeridgian limestone and clay soils with old Chardonnay vines, Butteaux is known for producing wines with greater depth and texture while retaining the vibrant minerality that defines the appellation.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky texture and bright natural acidity. Flavours of lemon zest, crisp apple and white peach are layered with hints of citrus blossom, wet stone and subtle flinty notes, leading to a long, chalky finish with impressive focus and mineral precision. Gentle maturation in seasoned oak enhances texture without overshadowing the purity of the fruit.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, the 2024 Patrick Piuze Chablis Premier Cru Butteaux is an excellent choice for those seeking a structured, age-worthy Chablis with outstanding depth and finesse. It pairs beautifully with oysters, scallops, grilled lobster, roast chicken or creamy seafood dishes. Enjoy now after a short decant, or cellar confidently over the next 10–15 years as it develops even greater complexity and mineral character.
