The Puligny Montrachet 'Les Charmes' by Domaine Alain Chavy is a pure Chardonnay produced from vineyards over 30 years old located in the municipality of Puligny Montrachet and, more precisely, in the lieux-dit Les Charmes, bordering the lower area of the namesake Premier Cru of Meursault. The grapes, harvested by hand, are pressed and then cooled for 18-20 hours before the alcoholic fermentation begins. The aging lasts 16 months in French oak barrels.

THE WINE
The Puligny Montrachet 'Les Charmes' by Domaine Alain Chavy is a pure Chardonnay produced from vineyards over 30 years old located in the municipality of Puligny Montrachet, more specifically in the lieu-dit Les Charmes, at the border with the lower area of the eponymous Premier Cru of Meursault. The grapes, harvested by hand, are pressed and then cooled for 18-20 hours before the alcoholic fermentation begins. The aging lasts 16 months in French oak barrels. The bouquet reveals itself to be intense and complex, with hints of yellow berry fruits (peach, melon, apple) and citrus notes, followed by buttery and vanilla notes with a mineral and spicy finish. On the palate, it is fine and elegant, with fresh mineral notes, rich and finely spiced.
THE COMPANY
Alain Chavy gained his experience in the wine industry alongside his brother Jean-Louis at the family domaine Gérard Chavy et Fils, located in Puligny-Montrachet, in the Côte de Beaune. Following the retirement of their father Gérard at the end of the 1990s, the two brothers, after collaborating for several years in managing the family domaine, decided to divide the owned plots between them and create their own businesses.
In 2003, Domaine Alain Chavy was born in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet: today the estate counts 6.5 hectares of vineyards managed according to the principles of lutte raisonnée, thus limiting the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. All vinifications take place in the underground cellar – one of the few in the municipality of Puligny-Montrachet – built near the center of the village and decidedly state-of-the-art. The grapes, harvested by hand, are vinified separately depending on the vineyard of origin, with the exception of the very small village parcels: after pressing, they are cooled for 18-20 hours before the alcoholic fermentation begins. The aging takes place in oak barrels and lasts for at least a year. The wines of Domaine Alain Chavy are representatives of the terroir of Puligny-Montrachet and are distinguished by their purity, elegance, and pronounced minerality.
