Puligny-Montrachet, Domaine Alain Chavy 2022
The Chavy family has been rooted in Puligny for nearly two centuries, but the modern story kicked off in 1976 when Gérard Chavy decided to stop selling grapes to négociants and started bottling wine under his own name. In 2003, Gérard’s sons, Alain and Jean-Louis, split the estate to follow their own paths. Alain now runs a 7-hectare domaine, with parcels in some of Puligny-Montrachet’s top Premier Cru vineyards. Known for his understated winemaking style, Alain focuses on purity and precision, letting the character of each site take centre stage. His wines are all about freshness, clarity, and tension—beautiful expressions of Puligny’s elegance.
