2021 Domaine Alain Chavy Puligny-Montrachet 'Les Charmes'

£75.00

Crafted from vines now in their seventies, this wine brings a refined richness and energy, with sweeter, juicier fruit than a typical Puligny.

Alain Chavy’s winemaking is a testament to his deep respect for tradition and terroir. The grapes are meticulously hand-harvested, with minimal intervention in the winery. Fermentation and ageing take place in one of the village’s deepest cellars, at a cool six metres underground. Minimal bâtonnage and a restrained use of new oak (usually around 15-20%) allow the vibrant character of Puligny's famed limestone soils to take centre stage, creating wines of purity, precision, and finesse.

Origin: Burgundy, France

Blend: Chardonnay

Domaine Alain Chavy

The Chavy family has been rooted in Puligny-Montrachet for over two centuries, their name synonymous with the finest Chardonnay. In 2003, after inheriting vineyards from their father Gérard, Alain and his brother Jean-Louis charted their own paths. Alain’s Domaine Alain Chavy now spans 10 hectares, with prestigious holdings in Puligny’s Premier Crus including Les Folatières, Les Champs Gain, and Les Pucelles. His meticulous care ensures each plot’s distinctive character is preserved, producing wines that reflect the heart of Puligny.

Beneath the village, Alain’s six-metre-deep cellar is a sanctuary where tradition meets innovation. Here, his wines ferment and mature at a slow, steady pace, developing the elegant minerality and freshness that define his style. Known for his restrained use of oak and a low-intervention philosophy, Alain Chavy lets the land speak for itself, creating Chardonnays of remarkable clarity and depth.
