Domaine Jean Louis Chavy

Jean-Louis Chavy is one of the sons of Gerard Chavy. Jean-Louis now runs his own domaine whilst his brother Alain runs Domaine Gerard Chavy. The brand new air-conditioned cellar was built in 2003, in the heart of the village of Puligny-Montrachet. The winemaking methods used are traditional, and the result is elegant and rich wines which show no noticeable oak influence.

Very impressive, similar to Leflaive in style. It is rich and viscous, lush and overt. The intensity of ripe tropical fruits is boosted by a tight minerality, leading to a long and explosive finish. Magnificent – in fact regal!
Hand-picked, sorted and fermented in tank, racked into barrels with 25% new oak and the remainder in 350 litre Demi Muids. The wines undergo a very gentle fining after 12 months.
