Domaine Alain Chavy - Puligny-Montrachet 2020

Key words: Complexity / Elegance / Minerality / Tension

Wine: This Puligny-Montrachet is a magnificent chardonnay with great finesse. Racy, mineral and endowed with a beautiful tension, this cuvée indeed enjoys a perfect balance between the maturity of the fruit (peach, citrus, pear) as well as delicious woody and vanilla notes very well measured. A large, high-flying bottle that will leave you with lasting memories when tasted. Thank you Mr. Chavy!

The Estate: The Chavy are a large family of winegrowers from Puligny-Montrachet. In 1997, brothers Alain and Jean-Louis took over the estate from their father, Gérard Chavy. In 2003, they decided to create two separate vineyards and therefore divided the family farm equally. Today, Alain reigns over 10 hectares of vines, mostly in AOC Puligny-Montrachet, where he has many 1^er cru plots as well as a few rows of vines on the mythical Grand Cru Chevalier-Montrachet. The harvest is manual, the clay-limestone soil and the aging of the wines generally lasts 1 year in barrels before being completed by 6 months in vats in order to bind the whole. The cuvées are all of an excellent standard and finesse and minerality are the common markers of Alain Chavy's wines.
