Puligny-Montrachet Les Charmes, Domaine Alain Chavy 2021
The Chavy family has been rooted in Puligny for nearly 200 years, but their modern legacy began in 1976 when Gérard Chavy chose to stop selling grapes to négociants and started bottling wine under his own label. In 2003, Gérard's sons, Alain and Jean-Louis, parted ways due to differing winemaking philosophies, each establishing their own domaines. Alain Chavy now cultivates 7 hectares, including some of Puligny's most prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. Known for his restrained style, Alain’s focus on purity of fruit has quickly elevated his domaine to a gem within the appellation. With a minimal intervention approach and an emphasis on freshness, Alain crafts wines defined by purity, precision, and tension. His vineyards are sustainably farmed, with all cuvées hand-harvested and barrel-fermented at low temperatures—Alain’s secret to preserving depth, complexity, and energy in his wines.
Yarra Yering, Chardonnay 2021
Est. delivery in August, 2026 Yarra Yering is one of those names that Australians say with a quiet reverence. Founded by the late, great Bailey Carrodus in 1969, the estate was a pioneer of cool-climate viticulture in the Yarra Valley at a time when the idea of world-class Chardonnay from Victoria was, to put it kindly, ambitious. The 2021 Chardonnay comes from old, low-yielding vines on the estate's distinctive red volcanic soils, handled with the same restrained intelligence that defines everything made here. Partial barrel fermentation, careful use of oak, and a winemaking philosophy that trusts the vineyard over the winery. The result is a Chardonnay that feels more Burgundian in spirit than antipodean in ambition: white peach, lemon curd, and toasted hazelnut framed by a fine, saline tension that keeps everything taut and focused. There is genuine depth here, but it never feels heavy.
