Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru 'Les Folatières', Domaine Alain Chavy 2022
Domaine Alain Chavy’s 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru ‘Les Folatières’ is a seriously refined white Burgundy that shows why this site is one of Puligny’s most sought-after. Perched high on the slope, ‘Les Folatières’ brings together energy, finesse, and a real sense of place. Alain’s approach in the cellar is one of low-intervention, with minimal bâtonnage and a measured use of new oak. The results are precise, mineral-driven Chardonnays with transparency to their terroirs, yet still with supple and generous mid-palate fruit expressions.
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.
