After completing high school, Piuze decided to work in vineyards and cellars in Australia, South Africa and Israel. After, he returned to Canada and opened a wine bar, but soon found out he wanted to return to making wine.
In the year 2000 he moved to France and began working for Olivier Leflaive, where in the meanwhile he also followed an education as oenologist. Leflaive was so impressed with his wine making talent, that soon enough Piuze was given the lead at the winery. After this he also worked for Ferget and Jean Marc Brocard. In 2008 he left the wineries and based himself in the Chablis region, where he buys his grapes from the best terroirs of old vines. His wines belong to the top of the Chablis and are extremely sought after. Les Minots is a specific parcel within 1er Cru Vaillons with 70-year-old vines that benefit from southern exposure. It’s Piuze’s warmest ivneyard and normally the first to be harvested. Creamy citrus fruit with a nice minerality.
