Description
White Wine: 2020 | Domaine Alain Chavy | Puligny Montrachet Les Pucelles
The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet les Pucelles 1er Cru has a lifted green apple and pear scented bouquet. The palate is cohesive on the entry, moderate depth though it just runs out of a bit of energy towards the finish.

Producer Information
Domaine Alain Chavy is a leading Burgundian estate with its cellar in Puligny-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune. It is known for a range of pure, elegant wines, all from the Chardonnay grape variety. It was formed in 2003 when Alain Chavy and his brother Jean-Louis decided to split their father’s estate, Domaine Gérard Chavy, which they had previously run together. Alain Chavy’s vineyard holdings total 6.5 hectares (16 acres), with parcels in the Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru vineyards of Les Folatières, Le Champs Gain, Les Pucelles and Le Clavaillon, as well as a tiny portion of the Grand Cru Chevalier-Montrachet vineyard. There are also 2.65 hectares (6.5 acres) of village-level Puligny-Montrachet, including a plot in the Les Charmes lieu-dit. Vines are also owned in Saint-Aubin En Remilly and Meursault and some Bourgogne Blanc is also produced by the estate. The domaine boasts the deepest cellars in Puligny, at 5.5 meters – the area has a relatively high water table, meaning most estates have above-ground storage facilities. Winemaking is low-intervention. All grapes are hand harvested and fermented in barrel at not more than 25 degrees Celsius (77 Farenheit) for extra depth and intensity. Lees stirring is minimal and malolactic fermentation usually starts late, due to the cool cellars. Wines are bottled up to 16 months after harvest.
