From a steep, limestone-rich site just southeast of Chablis, Patrick Piuze’s Les Boutots captures the tension and mineral clarity that have made him one of Burgundy’s most compelling voices. Tonnerre shares the same Kimmeridgian soils as Chablis, and this bottling offers a clear expression of that geology—focused, saline, and quietly expressive.
The wine opens with citrus peel, green apple, and crushed stone, followed by a subtle savory edge and a long, precise finish. Fermented with native yeasts and handled with restraint, it favors line and texture over overt richness or oak influence. While labeled Bourgogne Tonnerre, it consistently drinks well above its classification.
An excellent choice for Chablis lovers looking to explore beyond the core appellations, or for anyone drawn to white Burgundy that emphasizes place, clarity, and balance. Limited availability.
