Meursault 'Les Vignes Blanches', Domaine Clos de la Chapelle 2023
"Honeysuckle and light reduction on the nose give way to a round, long palate. The 65-year-old vines in deep clay soils impart richness and complexity." Our note This is our second vintage representing the wonderful Clos de la Chapelle, an exciting new domaine born in Volnay. Certified organic and practicing biodynamics, the domaine specialises in small-batch, terroir-expressive wines from Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards. "The marketplace has not yet quite fully woken up to Domaine Clos de la Chapelle, but judging by some of their 2017s (and since) it really should." Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy The 2023 vintage, harvested under perfect conditions, highlights their signature style of freshness, salinity, and fine tannins. These wines are approachable in their youth but have the structure to develop beautifully with age.
Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Quatre Climats, Domaine Alain Chavy 2021
The Chavy family have been in Puligny for almost 200 years but the story begins much later in 1976 when Gérard Chavy decided to stop selling his grapes to négociants and bottle his wine under his own label. In 2003 Gerard’s sons, Alain and Jean-Louis, decided to split the estate following artistic differences and started their own Domaines. Alain Chavy’s seven hectares covers some of the most prestigious Puligny Premier Crus and with a restrained style that focuses on purity of fruit, has quickly become a jewel in the heart of the appellation. The 2021 ‘Les Quatre Climats’ is a true unicorn – a one-off cuvée, which contains the fruit left after the devastating frosts, from all four of the domaine’s premier cru sites. Alain's vineyards are sustainably farmed, with all cuvées hand harvested and barrel fermented at low temperatures; his secret to maintaining depth, complexity and energy. The Chavy holding in Les Clavoillons is all that stops Domaine Leflaive from having the monopole of this 5.59 hectare vineyard.
