orange pith and a hint of praline

A subtle touch of wood sets off the aromas that also display notes of red berry-like liqueur but also violet and blue pinot fruit scents

Naturally exotic aromas speak of Asian-style tea

racy and inviting

Tasted from a bottle from my personal cellar

Patrick Piuze, Chablis Preuses Brut Zero orange pith and a hintAn elegant, pure and quite airy nose freely reveals its combination of white flowers, essence of poached pear, anise, mineral reduction and shellfish. The delicious and more refined if less powerful flavors possess a Zen like sense of harmony on the mineral driven, balanced and beautifully long finale. This will need to develop more depth with time in bottle but that is one of the strong points of a fine Preuses it almost always develops well.
