Val de Mer, Chablis, 2023

NOTES - Val de Mer is Patrick Piuze's second winery, co-owned with Moutard-Diligent. The winemaking is very similar to his own, eponymous line: both are hand-harvested, both are spontaneously fermented, and the elevage is the same.

Val de Mer Chablis comes from three parcels-Des Couverts (village of Chablis), Prehy (near Courgis), and Lignorelles-and is fermented and aged in stainless steel. Crisp, mineral, bright, and full of lemon and green apple, just the way it should be.
