Alain Chavy is renowned for his superb, long-lived white Burgundies. He worked with his father Gérard and his brother Jean-Louis until 2003, when he decided to set up on his own. Now he has 7 hectares of superbly situated vineyards, mostly in Puligny-Montrachet, with a few in top plots of Chassagne and Meursault. These are all worked sustainably. He has also built an underground cellar, six metres below, in Puligny to make his wines and keep them cool! All his wines are fermented in oak, but much of that is large, well seasoned foudres, so lend complexity without adding any major spice notes. Batonnage is kept to a minimum, which accounts for the longevity of his wines, their fruit purity and taste of terroir. Best to open early and decant.

"2020 white Burgundies clearly number among the very best produced in the last two decades" William Kelley
