The Bourgogne Chardonnay from Domaine Alain Chavy is a pure Chardonnay and is produced from vineyards that are over 20 years old located in the municipality of Puligny Montrachet in the famous Cotes De Beaune in Burgundy.

Domaine Alain Chavy
In the enchanted land of Burgundy, where every row tells a centuries-old story, lies the Domaine Alain Chavy. Located in the prestigious village of Puligny-Montrachet, this winery is a beacon for white wine enthusiasts seeking elegance and authenticity. The region, renowned for producing the finest whites in the world, offers a unique terroir, and Alain Chavy is a master interpreter, capable of extracting the full potential of Chardonnay from its limestone and clay soils.
The production philosophy of Alain Chavy 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 AOC Puligny-Montrachet designation. The winery is known for its ability to produce wines that, although young, already show 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.

On the nose, it opens with notes of white flowers and citrus, evolving 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 another sip.

THE ESTATE
Alain Chavy gains 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 the management of the family domaine, decided to divide the ownership plots and create their own businesses.
Thus, 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, thereby 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 town center and decidedly cutting-edge. The manually picked grapes are vinified separately according to their vineyard of origin, except for the very small village parcels: after pressing, they are cooled for 18-20 hours before alcoholic fermentation begins. Aging takes place in oak barrels and lasts for at least one 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.
