Alain Chavy Puligny-Montrachet 2018/19

The Chavy family has been a name in Burgundy for over 200 years, but recently it’s been doing things differently. Brothers Alain and Jean-Louis divided up the family plots in 2003, and set about making their own styles of wine. Harvesting from vines averaging 42 years old, Alain picks his grapes early to maintain freshness and ages them slowly in his underground cellar – one of the few in the region. As a result, this is a restrained Puligny-Montrachet, with flavours of green apple and lemon, and aromas of toast from aging in oak barrels. It pairs well with fish and shellfish and will bring freshness to cream-based sauces, too.
