Patrick Piuze Chablis Premier Cru Vaulorent “QC” 2020 750ml

Is Piuze’s 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent Les Quatres Chemins even better than its 2019 predecessor? I’m inclined to think so, and to my palate, it’s also his joint-finest wine this year. Offering up aromas of citrus oil, confit lemon and crisp Anjou pear mingled with notions of iodine and freshly baked bread, it’s medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with terrific concentration, racy acids and a long, intensely saline finish.
