Puligny-montrachet les 8 climats 2022 (Domaine Alain Chavy)

Drink it now or cellar for up to 15 years. No need to decant but best to open it half an hour before service. Coming from a family with two centuries of winemaking tradition in Puligny-Montrachet, Alain Chavy founded his winery in 2003, after splitting the family vineyards with his brother Jean Louis. Today, the Domaine Alain Chavy covers approximately 10 hectares of vineyards located in the beautiful appellation of Puligny, in the heart of Burgundy. Alain is now supported aby his son Corentin in the winery. The Chardonnay grapes are selected from 8 different plots, located in the commune of Puligny. The harvest is manual and the vinification is low-intervention. The finished wine rests in 228-litre barrels for two-thirds of the wine and in larger 400-litre barrels for the remainder. The aim is to produce a rich wine that is expressive of the Puligny terroir. Puligny-Montrachet Les 8 Climats is an elegant and characterful wine that reveals a broad and ripe aromatic profile with notes of yellow apple, quince, and pear and hints of honey. On the palate, it is fresh and mineral, rich and rounded. It is a very balanced and expressive wine with a sharp acidity, and a long, refreshing finish. It is ideal with scallops or roast white fish.
