Winemaker Notes

Wines from Puligny-Montrachet are marked by bright aromas and flavors of green apple and lemon, with a taut, firm palate that distinguishes them from neighboring villages. Aged in a small proportion of new French oak barrels, they gain delicate hints of toast and vanilla. The rich texture and subtle oak nuances of White Burgundy pair beautifully with white fish and shellfish, while the naturally high acidity balances cream-based sauces. Oak-aged Chardonnay from warmer regions complements grilled fish, starchy sides, butter, and toasted nuts.

Alain established Domaine Alain Chavy in 2003 with vineyards inherited from his father and includes some of Puligny's top premier crus.
