2008 Domaine Alain Chavy
Alain Chavy is one of the sons of Gérard Chavy, and now runs his own domaine.
Alain and his brother Jean-Louis split the family's vineyards up between them following a family dispute, sharing the Bourgogne Blanc, village Puligny Montrachet, the lieu-dit Charmes, as well as Premiers Crus Champs Gain, Clavoillons, and Folatieres vineyards.
Alain has kept the Pucelles parcel and the winemaking and ageing style remains traditional, with vines on average 25 years old. His hands-off approach, and minimal use of new oak allows the terroir to really play a dominant role in the wines.

Alain Chavy bottles the wine from his best plot of Puligny-Montrachet, les Charmes, separately so as to make the most of this quality terroir. The bouquet is notably floral, the mid palate attractively filled out and there is a long, graceful finish. Drink 2011-2013. Jasper Morris MW |

The Chavys’ biggest holding of 1er cru is in the Folatières vineyard where 40+ year old vines contribute to the quality. There is a wealth of yellow plum fruit backed by a clean, mineral finish with notable persistence. Drink 2012-2015. Jasper Morris MW |

Alain Chavy and his brother are the only owners of 1er cru Clavoillon apart from Domaine Leflaive which has the lion’s share. The Chavy vines were planted in 1955. There is full, pure fruit on the palate and refreshing acidity at the back. Drink 2012-2014. Jasper Morris MW |

There is enough reduction present to knock down the expressiveness of the nose and even extended aeration of several days could not dissipate it completely. That said, the reduction is not unpleasant and does not affect the appeal of the admirably intense, precise and honeysuckle-suffused ... MORE |
