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.
