The 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons Les Minots is showing very well, mingling aromas of crisp Anjou pear and green apple with scents of white flowers, marzipan and fresh stone fruits. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with chewy structuring extract, good precision and a stony finish.HK$6,195.00 -

Piuze's new 2022 Chablis La Butte "O" comes from the lieu-dit Butteaux but outside the confines of the premier cru. It's an attractive effort redolent of pear, toasted nuts, bee pollen, white flowers and youthful reduction. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with racy acids and a long mineral finish, it's a fine addition to the range.HK$3,400.00 -

The 2020 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru has a much more expressive nose than the Bougros at this stage, offering lifted lime flower and orange blossom scents, though perhaps there is less mineralité at the moment. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, showing just a little creaminess. Almond and chamomile notes appear toward the finish. Give this 3–4 years in bottle.HK$10,150.00 -

The 2020 Chablis La Grande Vallée, from Les Pargues, has one of the more mineral-driven bouquets from Piuze, displaying superb delineation. The vibrant, zesty palate is saline on the entry, and the harmonious orange peel and and grapefruit finish delivers superb weight. Excellent.HK$2,640.00 -

The 2016 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a generous, slightly confit-like bouquet that is well defined and focused. The palate is well balanced with a precise entry, quite understated with a discrete sprinkling of white pepper towards the finish. Fine.HK$3,990.00 -

Piuze told me that his 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos had become atypically aromatic during its élevage, and that it was only just now beginning to shut down. So, I prefer to offer only a bracketed score for this full-bodied, broad and voluptuous wine that's evocative of musky peach and honeycomb. I'll be tasting it again next year.HK$6,450.00 -

The 2019 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a beautifully defined bouquet of quince, marmalade and light honeysuckle aromas. The palate is tightly wound, with crisp acidity, and very linear. The saline finish lingers in the mouth. Good potential.HK$1,470.00 -

The 2020 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru is very reduced on the nose, although there seems to be good concentration here and Piuze commented that this is nothing unusual. The palate is well balanced, quite primal, rich and slightly honeyed, leading to a powerful finish where I am just seeking a little more delineation. Let’s see how this turns out in bottle.HK$1,415.00 -

The 2021 Chablis Terroirs de Chablis has a silvery glint in the glass. The nose is quite intense, well-defined with bright green apple and crushed rock aromas, gaining intensity in the glass. The palate is clean and fresh with fine acidity, quite austere on the entry but delivers attractive light white peach and clementine notes towards the finish. Enjoy this over the next six to eight years.HK$2,530.00 -
