Terroir Decouverte is from the "des Couverts" parcel, touching 1er Cru Vaulorent on the north-facing part of the Grand Cru hill. It is one of the coolest parcels in Chablis and always the last to be harvested. The result is a zippy, racy acidity with lean minerality. A great choice for shrimp on the barbie.

Staff Pick Notes

It is a difficult task to be recognized by other winemakers when you are young and foreign, and this is especially true in Burgundy. Patrick Piuze came from a bourgeois family in Quebec, Canada that had nothing to do with the world of winemaking, but today, he is one of the most followed winemakers, and shows a bright future. Starting from the bottom, Patrick learned winemaking through extensive travelling and working around the world in Australia, South Africa and Israel. He then moved to Burgundy to work and learn under Maison Olivier Leflaive, Maison Verget (J-M Guffens) and Maison Jean-Marc Brocard.

Chablis "Terroir Découverte" is citrus forward, green minerality, with herbal notes present, and a gentle lingering finish.

Burgundy

The range of wine styles offered in Burgundy rivals that of any other region. In Chablis, Chardonnay is left unoaked to produce lean, crisp, steely wines with incredible acidity - a far cry from the vanilla-oak bombs that so many consumers associate with this grape. Fans of rich, unctuous, and well-oaked Chardonnay will enjoy Chassagne-Montrachet, whose age-worthy offerings offer all the fatness of a California wine, yet retain a very Burgundian, mineral-driven core and great acidity....

Chardonnay

From Champagne to Chablis, it's hard (not to mention unpleasant) to avoid this famous white variety. During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking world. It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...

Terroir

“Terroir” means earth or soil in French. In the wine world, terroir refers to the physical conditions of a region, a vineyard site, or any parcel of vine-populated land. Terroir is the interplay between soil and climate and the impact of these elements on a wine.
