The Puligny Montrachet Alain Chavy 2016 presents a clear golden hue in the glass, suggesting a well-developed wine. On the nose, one can detect aromas of ripe pear, white flowers, and a hint of citrus zest, accompanied by subtle notes of oak. The palate reveals a medium-bodied texture, supported by balanced acidity that complements flavors of stone fruit and minerals, typical of this renowned Burgundy region.

Alain Chavy is recognized for his meticulous approach to viticulture and winemaking, emphasizing organic practices. The 2016 vintage benefited from a warm growing season, allowing the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness. This wine is sourced from the prestigious Puligny Montrachet appellation, known for its exceptional Chardonnay. Aging occurs in French oak barrels, which adds complexity without overwhelming the fruit character, resulting in a refined and elegant expression of the terroir.

Domaine Alain Chavy

World Class White Burgundy

The Chavy family has been a fixture in Puligny-Montrachet for more than two centuries. The son of Gérard Chavy, Alain established his own domaine in 2003, when his family’s vineyards were split between him and his brother, Jean-Louis.

Domaine Alain Chavy comprises about 10ha of vineyards in and around Puligny. In addition to several well-located village parcels, Alain owns plots in the prestigious Premiers Crus of Les Folatières, Les Champs Gain, Les Pucelles and Les Clavoillons. These are complemented by several small holdings in neighbouring Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault.

At six metres deep Alain’s underground cellar is the deepest in the village, ensuring a cool environment in which his wines can ferment and mature very gradually. Alain practises low-intervention winemaking, with minimal bâttonage and sparing use of new oak allowing Puligny’s prized terroir to shine through in his famously elegant, mineral-driven Chardonnays.
