Description
The Bourgogne Côtes d’Auxerre by Patrick Piuze is a Chardonnay from the appellation north of Chablis, grown on limestone-marl soils with a cool climate. The management is sustainable, with manual harvesting and limited yields to enhance the purity of the fruit.
Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, followed by maturation on fine lees partly in stainless steel and partly in used barrels, without fining or filtration, according to the natural style and guidance of Piuze.
On the nose, it opens with a clear citrus freshness, notes of white flowers, golden apple, and wet stone; on the palate, it shows liveliness, crisp acidity, elegant sapidity, light roundness, and a long, mineral finish.
It pairs well with shellfish, fatty fish, or delicate white meats.
