One of the high points of the range, the 2020 Chablis Terroir de Courgis opens in the glass with aromas of citrus oil, orange blossom and pear, framed by a deft touch of youthful reduction. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and concentrated, it's deep and vibrant, with lively acids and a saline finish.

The 2019 Chablis Terroir de Courgis is superb, unwinding to reveal notions of green apple, white flowers, freshly baked bread, clear honey and iodine. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, it's tightly wound, with real depth at the core and a long, saline finish.

Always one of Piuze's finest cuvées at the communal level, the 2018 Chablis Terroir de Courgis is excellent, revealing notes of smoky green orchard fruit, iodine and citrus oil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and enveloping palate that's fleshy and concentrated, with good underlying tension. While this is one of the richer bottlings in its youth, it ages beautifully, and as its puppy fat falls away, it's the wine's firm underlying spine that dominates.

The 2017 Chablis Terroir de Courgis is superb, offering up aromas of crisp peach, green apple, ripe lemon and oystershell. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a glossy attack, a dense, tight-knit core and a long, tangy and saline finish. Give this a couple of years in the cellar, then follow it for a decade.
