Puligny Montrachet from Domaine Alain Chavy is a superb expression of one of Burgundy's most respected white wine appellations - a place where elegance, minerality, and Chardonnay perfection converge. From the renowned vineyards of Puligny Montrachet in the Cote de Beaune, this wine is crafted with an emphasis on terroir, balance, and refined complexity. Domaine Alain Chavy, a family-run estate with deep roots in Burgundian viticulture, focuses on wines that speak directly of site and vintage, with minimal intervention and maximum respect for the natural character of the grapes and soils.
Puligny Montrachet's reputation as a premier home for Chardonnay rests on its chalky, limestone-rich soils and ideal exposure, which consistently encourage vines to produce grapes of intense flavour, crisp acidity, and textural depth. Under Alain Chavy's careful stewardship, these elements are translated into wines that are lively yet poised, expressive yet disciplined - offering drinkers a clear window into the Ile-de-Beaune terroir that has made this corner of Burgundy famous.

Long, precise, and lingering, with a clean mineral aftertaste that echoes citrus peel and chalky complexity.
