Patrick Piuze, Chablis Clos Size:12x750ml the 2020 Palafreno is all

the 2020 Palafreno is all Merlot and reveals a very pretty bouquet of violets

000-case cuvee is dominated by its Merlot component (the blend also includes some Cabernet Franc)

A hint of herbal tea character sits atop the aromas of spicy dark berries and sandalwood

Not only is this a steal for the price

There is again very good volume to the sappy and powerful larger scaled flavors that terminate in a lemony, austere and highly persistent finish that isnt quite as complex, at least not yet.
