Domaine Alain Chavy
In the enchanted land of Burgundy, where every row of vines tells a centuries-old story, lies Domaine Alain Chavy. Located in the prestigious village of Puligny-Montrachet, this winery is a beacon for white wine lovers seeking elegance and authenticity. The region, renowned for producing the finest white wines in the world, offers a unique terroir, and Alain Chavy is a masterful interpreter of it, capable of extracting the full potential of Chardonnay from the limestone and clay soils.
Alain Chavy's production philosophy is based on a deep respect for Burgundian tradition, combined with meticulous attention to detail. The approach is to let nature take its course, intervening only when necessary to ensure that every drop of wine reflects the purity and tension typical of the Puligny-Montrachet AOC appellation. The winery is known for its ability to produce wines that, even when young, already display a complex structure and promise surprising longevity.
The vineyards, cultivated with passion and care, are dedicated exclusively to Chardonnay, the undisputed king of these lands. Among the main labels, the Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru stands out for its depth and finesse. On the nose, it opens with notes of white flowers and citrus, then evolves into a bouquet of white-fleshed fruit and subtle mineral hints. On the palate, its lively acidity and creamy texture create a perfect balance, leaving a persistence that invites one sip after another.

THE COMPANY
Alain Chavy gained his experience in the wine sector together with his brother Jean-Louis in the family domaine Gérard Chavy et Fils, located in Puligny-Montrachet, in the Côte de Beaune. Following the retirement of their father Gérard, which occurred at the end of the 1990s, the two brothers, after having collaborated for a few years in the management of the family domaine, decided to divide the owned plots between them and create their own companies.
Thus, Domaine Alain Chavy was born in 2003, in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet: today the estate has 6.5 hectares of vineyards managed following the dictates of the lutte raisonnée and therefore limiting the use of chemical fertilizers as well as pesticides. All vinification takes place in the underground cellar - one of the few in the municipality of Puligny-Montrachet - built near the center of the town and decidedly cutting-edge. The grapes, harvested manually, are vinified separately depending on the vineyard of origin, with the exception of the very small village parcels: after pressing, they are left to cool for 18-20 hours before alcoholic fermentation begins. The refinement takes place in oak barrels and lasts for at least a year. The wines of Domaine Alain Chavy are spokespersons for the Puligny-Montrachet terroir and are characterized by their purity, elegance and marked minerality.
