Alain established Domaine Alain Chavy in 2003 with vineyards inherited from his\u003cbr\u003efather and includes some of Puligny's top premier crus.\u003cbr\u003eChamps Gains is the second largest Puligny premier cru and sits above Folatières high up on\u003cbr\u003ethe Mont Rachet hill at an elevation of 360 meters. Altitude and meager soils deliver a wine\u003cbr\u003ewith a lean and mineral profile. The name Champ Gain derives from a \"field\" that has been won\u003cbr\u003eor regained.\u003cbr\u003eAlain inoculates for fermentation and believes in keeping bâtonnage to a minimum. He uses a\u003cbr\u003ecombination of 400-liter oak puncheons and 25% new Burgundian pièce for the premier crus.\u003cbr\u003e“We’re looking for balance between the fruit and oak character,” explains Alain. “We want the\u003cbr\u003ewines’ minerality to show through.”\u003cbr\u003eT A S T I N G N O T E S\u003cbr\u003eWines from Puligny-Montrachet are typified by aromas and flavors of green apple and lemon\u003cbr\u003eand tend to be tauter and firmer on the palate compared to wines from neighboring villages.\u003cbr\u003eAging in a small percentage of new French oak barrels lends accents of toast and vanilla.\u003cbr\u003eStructured white wines with high acid and grip, Puligny-Montrachet is destined for long aging.\u003cbr\u003eF O O D P A I R I N G\u003cbr\u003eWhite Burgundy, with its rich texture and toasted flavors, pairs well with white fish and shellfish\u003cbr\u003eand its naturally high acidity can counterbalance cream-based sauces. Oak-aged Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003efrom warmer climates lends itself well to grilled fish, starches, butter, and toasted nuts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Alain Chavy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43781956370656,"sku":"114519","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/domaine-alain-chavy-puligny-montrachet-1er-cru-champ-gain_1.jpg?v=1673022441","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/domaine-alain-chavy-puligny-montrachet-1er-cru-champ-gain-2020-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
