Domaine Alain Chavy - Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Les Folatières 2020

Keywords: Complexity / Elegance / Minerality

The wine: Les Folatières is possibly the 1er cru expressing at best all the finesse of the Puligny-Montrachet appellation. This superb cuvée made by Alain Chavy contains all the elegance, minerality as well as the purity of a great Chardonnay Burgundy. Notes of peach, citrus, pear and butter blend perfectly with an absolutely sublime precision woodiness. Perfectly appreciable in its youth, this great nectar can age for more than 10 years in the cellar. A very great wine that will leave you with beautiful memories after tasting!

The estate: Chavy is 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 equitably. Today, Alain reigns over 10 hectares of vines, mainly in AOC Puligny-Montrachet, where he has numerous 1^er cru plots as well as a few rows of vines on the legendary Grand Cru Chevalier-Montrachet. The harvest is manual, the clay-limestone terroir 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 vintages are all of an excellent level and finesse and minerality are common markers of Alain Chavy's wines.
