✨ Technical Specifications

Crafted by the highly respected Chablis producer Patrick Piuze, 'La Butte O' is a brilliant Vin de France that showcases his talent for identifying exceptional terroir just outside the official appellation boundaries. The name itself is a playful phonetic nod to the famous Chablis Premier Cru 'Butteaux' ('Butte-O'), yet the fruit hails from a carefully selected hillside parcel characterized by classic limestone soils. True to Piuze's non-interventionist philosophy, the grapes are harvested by hand and fermented using indigenous yeasts in neutral oak casks. This meticulous approach coaxes out a remarkably pure expression of the region's cool-climate terroir, resulting in a white wine defined by its crystalline acidity, flinty minerality, and vibrant citrus notes.

🍾 About the Producer

Founded in 2008 by Montreal-born vigneron Patrick Piuze, this acclaimed boutique négociant is based in the heart of Chablis, Burgundy. After honing his craft alongside renowned regional icons like Jean-Marc Brocard and Jean-Marie Guffens, Piuze established his eponymous label to showcase the hyper-specific geological nuances of Chablis' famed Kimmeridgian soils. Partnering closely with local growers of older vines, he employs meticulous hand-harvesting, spontaneous wild-yeast fermentations, and aging in seasoned neutral oak to avoid masking varietal character. His portfolio is celebrated worldwide for its pure, razor-sharp, and terroir-driven Chardonnay expressions, ranging from distinctive village-level bottlings like Terroir de Courgis to prestigious Premier and Grand Crus like Les Preuses, alongside crisp sparkling wines crafted under his Val de Mer label.
