2021 Domaine Chavy-Chouet Puligny-Montrachet "Les Enseignères", Burgundy, France
The natural tension, power and depth of this wine with notes of white peach and pear is a pure expression of the Puligny-Montrachet appellation.
ABOUT THIS WINE
The most famous climat of Puligny-Montrachet "village" is called Les Enseignères. It owes its popularity to its exceptional geographical and geological location, similar to its closest neighbours, Bâtard-Montrachet and Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Owner Romaric Chavy, who took over the estate in 2014, is the eighth generation to make wine in his family. Romaric learned from his father, Hubert Chavy, who founded the winery in 1982. Chavy-Chouet is one of the oldest families in Puligny-Montrachet. The Ropiteau family (on his mother's side) is the oldest one in Meursault.
Hubert, who was known not only for his winemaking but also for his charisma, was able to train Romaric for a few years before his passing in early 2014. Romaric has become a smart vigneron with a natural talent for winemaking. After six years at a specialist winemaking school and with plenty of experience in winegrowing and vinification around the world under his belt, Romaric has given the estate a makeover, and he follows an approach that combines rigor, tradition, and innovation.
