Domaine Alain Chavy Bourgogne Blanc 2022

“Domaine Alain Chavy is a small, highly regarded family estate in Puligny Montrachet, one of Burgundy’s most celebrated villages and the spiritual home of great white Burgundy, where Premier and Grand Cru vineyards produce Chardonnay of unmatched complexity and mineral depth. Alain Chavy, who previously co-managed the renowned Domaine Jean Chavy et Fils, established his own domaine with a commitment to producing wines of genuine Puligny character at every level of the range. Even the village-level Bourgogne Blanc benefits from the expertise and philosophy of a producer whose vineyards sit among the finest in the Côte de Beaune.

The 2022 Domaine Alain Chavy Bourgogne Blanc is a 100% Chardonnay, an entry level Burgundy that punches well above its appellation and reflects the care and precision Chavy brings to every wine in his range. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was warm and generous, delivering wines of excellent concentration and aromatic intensity. Pale gold in the glass, the nose is clean and inviting, revealing fresh lemon, white peach, and green apple with hints of toasted hazelnut and a subtle mineral note. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with good acidity, a clean, dry mid-palate, and a refreshing finish with a pleasant mineral character that speaks to its Puligny origins.

The Domaine Alain Chavy Bourgogne Blanc 2022 is exceptional alongside grilled fish, roasted chicken, light pasta dishes, or a selection of soft cheeses, an honest producer driven Burgundy that offers genuine Côte de Beaune character at an accessible price.
