Alain Chavy

Burgundy En-Primeur 2022

Alain Chavy farms seven hectares of vineyards mainly in Puligny, having spilt the family holdings with his brother in 2002. Alain practices lutte raisonnée in his vineyards, eschewing herbicides, and relies solely on ploughing for weed control. Alain uses up to 15% 400-liter oak puncheons in combination with 228-liter Burgundian pieces, up to 25% new.  Bâtonnage is kept to a minimum and malolactic fermentations tend to start late and are slow to complete, due to the cold temperatures in the underground cellar. Of all his Puligny Premier Crus Alain cites the Folatieres as his favourite and visitors to his small and very cold cellar are likely to be offered a vertical tasting from this vineyard. 

After the challenges of 2021, the 2022 vintage saw a return to form for this domaine and the wines show typical minerality with precision and bright acidity which indicates an ability to age in the medium term.

REGIONAL

Alain Chavy Bourgogne Chardonnay 2022
White | JR 15.5

Opening with an enchanting nose of white flowers and citrusy notes. The palate enjoys a refreshing attack, as vibrant lemon and green apple flavors dance gracefully. A mid-palate of delicate creaminess and a hint of minerality add depth. The finish is crisp and lingering, with a perfect balance of flavors.

(ETA May 2025)

VILLAGE

Alain Chavy Puligny Montrachet 2022
White 

Puligny Montrachet came from 7 plots on 2.5ha. Quite round on mid palate with a good lift in the finish. Rich wine with tension underlined by notes of citrus. 

$455 /bottle (750ml) 
(ETA April 2025)
Alain Chavy Puligny Montrachet Les Charmes 2022
White | JR 16

Cask sample. The aroma is quite marked by the oak, with cedary citrus underneath. The oak gives a savoury aspect. On the palate, oak spice entwined with tart, tangy citrus. 

 
$495 /bottle (750ml) 
(ETA May 2025)

PREMIER CRU

Alain Chavy St Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly 2022
White 

An elegant, gentle wine with sweet citrus fruit and lots of energy. There is pure lean salty minerality coursing through it, and the finish is fresh, ripe and lemony.



$395 /bottle (750ml) 
(ETA May 2025)
Alain Chavy Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs Gains 2022
White 

Champs Gains lies higher on the slope and the stony soil gives a fresh, distinguished wine that drinks well at an early age. Lovely, open fruit and a soft, succulent finish.

$690 /bottle (750ml) 
(ETA May 2025)
Alain Chavy Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Clavoillons 2022
White | JR 16.5+

A refined Puligny premier cru. Depth and crispness. Concentrated. Mineral thread on the palate. Plenty of purity and appealing stone-fruit notes. Bright acidity and freshness. Should develop well in bottle.


$690 /bottle (750ml) 
(ETA May 2025)
Alain Chavy Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatieres 2022
White | JR17

Spicy oak on the nose, creamy texture around sour-citrus freshness. Much the best of the Alain Chavy wines tasted today in terms of balancing fruit and acidity. Dry, insistent tension on the finish

$690 /bottle (750ml) 
(ETA May 2025)
Alain Chavy Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles 2022
White

A basket of ripe dense yellow fruit – pear, peach and apricot – is lifted by bright citrus flavours, and the mouth-filling long finish is dominated by a powerful stony minerality. 

$795 /bottle (750ml) 
(ETA May 2025)

GRAND CRU

Alain Chavy Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru 2022
White

Intense, ripe, yellow fruits (nectarine) on the nose. Deep and long on the palate with notes of hazelnut and opening up after aeration in the glass. A keeper!  

$3,850 /bottle (750ml)  
(ETA May 2025)
