Domaine Alain Chavy Puligny Montrachet Premier Cru Les Champs Gains 2020
Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru AOC
Situated just on the edge of Puligny-Montrachet, Domaine Alain Chavy is a meticulous producer. Les Champs Gains is a fine 1er Cru matured in a third new oak. Light spice flatters the intense citrus and green apple accents of this mineral-tight white.

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.
