Alain established Domaine Alain Chavy in 2003 with vineyards inherited from his\u003cbr\u003e\nfather and includes some of Puligny's top premier crus.\u003cbr\u003e\nFor some, Puligny-Montrachet is the ultimate white wine location on earth thanks to its perfect\u003cbr\u003e\naspect and well-drained limestone soil. Alain Chavy’s Puligny-Montrachet comes from several\u003cbr\u003e\nparcels around Puligny from vines planted between 1965 and 1974. Parcels near Meursault\u003cbr\u003e\nhave heavier soils, bringing body and power, while the gravel-limestone soils around Chassagne\u003cbr\u003e\ncontribute elegance and minerality.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlain inoculates for fermentation and believes in keeping bâtonnage to a minimum. He uses a\u003cbr\u003e\ncombination of 400-liter oak puncheons and 20% new Burgundian pièce for the village-level\u003cbr\u003e\nwines. “We’re looking for balance between the fruit and oak character,” explains Alain. “We want\u003cbr\u003e\nthe wines’ minerality to show through.”\u003cbr\u003e\nT A S T I N G N O T E S\u003cbr\u003e\nWines from Puligny-Montrachet are typified by aromas and flavors of green apple and lemon\u003cbr\u003e\nand tend to be tauter and firmer on the palate compared to wines from neighboring villages.\u003cbr\u003e\nAging in a small percentage of new French oak barrels lends accents of toast and vanilla.\u003cbr\u003e\nStructured white wines with high acid and grip, Puligny-Montrachet is destined for long aging.\u003cbr\u003e\nF O O D P A I R I N G\u003cbr\u003e\nWhite Burgundy, with its rich texture and toasted flavors, pairs well with white fish and shellfish\u003cbr\u003e\nand its naturally high acidity can counterbalance cream-based sauces. Oak-aged Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003e\nfrom warmer climates lends itself well to grilled fish, starches, butter, and toasted nuts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alain Chavy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47259809251552,"sku":"123637","price":113.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/domaine-alain-chavy-puligny-montrachet_1.jpg?v=1744755276","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/domaine-alain-chavy-puligny-montrachet-2022-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
