Meursault 'Saint Christophe', Domaine de Montille 2023
"From a blend of two parcels, this wine balances freshness with roundness, offering notes of citrus, floral elements, and subtle butter and almond. Aged on lees for complexity, it already shows layers of texture but will develop further brioche and honeyed nuances with time." Our note The 2023 vintage reflects a year of moderate warmth with consistent sunshine, leading to steady, well-paced ripening. Although temperatures weren’t extreme, the shift to warmer nights and milder days contributed to extended growing periods. This translated into wines that are strikingly fresh, with lower alcohol levels, vivid acidity, and vibrant character—brighter and more approachable compared to recent years. Both red and white wines achieved impressive yields, the largest ever recorded for the estate, with terroir expression and balance shining through. Whites carry their hallmark freshness and minerality, further underscored by the decision to reduce the percentage of new oak due to the larger volumes produced. The domaine features as one of the Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine, and White Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.
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.
