Tasting notes
The 2018 Chablis Terroir de Chichée is a little more involving on the nose compared to the "Terroir de Chablis," revealing touches of custard creams and orange pith. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly better acidity and a dab of spice on the finish. Enjoy over the next 2–4 years.

The 2018 Chablis Terroir de Chichée is powerful and dense, with somewhat angular contours that give the wine its distinctive feel. Dried flowers, chamomile, mint and lemon confit open up in the glass. The 2018 is a heady wine, with plenty of richness and a real sense of virile intensity that carries through to the finish.
From the plateau near the Vaucoupin, Piuze's 2018 Chablis Terroir de Chichée bursts with aromas of crisp green apple, white flowers and fresh peach. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, pure and tensile, with a bright spine of acidity, a tight-knit core of incipiently fleshy fruit and a stony finish.
From a plot that faces east, in front of Vosgros, this has a very singular, sharper and more assertive, punchy fruit presence. Some light citrus with stone fruit, too. Drink now.
