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.
Puligny-Montrachet, Domaine Pernot-Belicard 2016
Pernot-Belicard's 2016 Puligny is classic, understated elegance - cool citrus and white peach wrapped in a fine veil of florals, with a quiet mineral line that tightens and lengthens as it opens. On the palate it’s poised and gently textural, offering just enough mid-weight creaminess before tapering into a saline, stone-etched finish. 2016 was challenging but rewarding: frost cut yields dramatically, yet what remained was wonderfully concentrated, pure and finely balanced. Pernot-Belicard turned adversity into precision, producing wines with real focus and drive. Pernot-Belicard is one of Puligny’s rising stars, run by Paul Pernot’s grandson, Philippe. Since taking over in the early 2010s, he’s tightened viticulture, refined élevage and pushed quality to impressive heights.
