This is a solid set of 2013s from Patrick Piuze, although the wines are a bit inconsistent throughout the range. Many of the 2013s are unusually overt and tropical, with mid-weight structures that appear best suited to near-term drinking. Of course, tastings from barrel aren't always representative. In more than one instance I thought the wines were a bit low in sulfur, which can give an impression of flabbiness. Piuze bottled his 2013 village-level wines early as he did not think they had the structure to support longer time in barrel, which appears to have been a good decision. It will be interesting to see how the 2013 1er and Grand Crus turn out once they have been bottled. Personally, I find the 2012s quite a bit more exciting.

Patrick Piuze's wines keep getting better and better. In particular, this year I was struck by the quality of the village level wines, which are separate bottlings that explore the specific qualities of several of the villages within the Chablis appellation. At the higher end, there is a lot to admire in there 1er and Grand Crus at this address. The top wines are fermented and aged in barrel, which shapes the wines and gives them much of their texture. Piuze compares the 2012s to the 2008s in terms of their acidities and sugars. As is the case throughout the region, Piuze's Right Bank sites were particularly affected by frost and poor weather during flowering. I tasted the village wines from bottle and all the other wines from barrel. In addition to these wines, I also tasted the 2012 Clos, which was totally reduced in its bouquet, but showed great energy and focus on the palate.
