Domaine Alain Chavy

The Chavy family are one of the great families of Côte de Beaune vignerons, having been based in Puligny-Montrachet for more than two hundred years. Sons of the great Gerard Chavy, Alain and brother Jean-Louis split the holdings in 2003 – and now Alain, aided by Corentin for the last few years, looks after 6.5 hectares mostly located in the Puligny-Montrachet appellation.

The portfolio of vineyards includes a slice of the Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, and famous Puligny premiers crus such as Les Folatières, Les Pucelles and Champ Gains. Known for their freshness, these whites are not heavy-handed but possess a richness and nuanced complexity that will certainly reward a long stint in the cellar.
