✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the acclaimed Chablis producer Patrick Piuze, this 'Non Dosé' sparkling wine is a brilliant extension of his minimalist, terroir-driven philosophy into the realm of sparkling Burgundy. Sourced from cool-climate vineyards in the Yonne department, this cuvée is made in the traditional method with zero dosage added at disgorgement. By eschewing the traditional sweetening makeup, Piuze allows the raw, crystalline purity of northern Burgundian Chardonnay to take center stage. The wine is celebrated for its laser-like acidity, intense chalky minerality, and pristine citrus notes, echoing the ancient Kimmeridgian soils of its heritage and offering a bone-dry, incredibly refreshing drinking experience.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded on July 1, 2008, by Quebecois vigneron Patrick Piuze, this boutique Chablis négociant-vinificateur has emerged as one of the region's most uncompromising champions of terroir. Following pivotal stints at Olivier Leflaive, Maison Verget under Jean-Marie Guffens, and Jean-Marc Brocard, Piuze established an innovative model grounded in long-term contracts with premier growers. Operating without owning vineyards, he works exclusively with old vines situated within the historical, unexpanded boundaries of Chablis. Sourcing from Kimmeridgian and Portlandian limestone slopes on both banks of the Serein River, Piuze mandates hand-harvesting, non-interventionist viticulture without chemical inputs, and early picking to preserve tension and saline freshness. Vinification is rigorously artisanal: vertical basket pressing, native yeast fermentation, and aging in neutral French oak barrels (four to eight years old) for cru bottlings or stainless steel for village wines, always bottled unfined and gently filtered. Signature releases include single-terroir village cuvées such as Les Bas de Chapelot and Plateau Cornasse, alongside premier crus like Butteaux, Forêts, and Montée de Tonnerre, and benchmark Grand Crus including Les Preuses and Blanchots.
