Understanding Domaine Alain Chavy, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru, Les Folatieres, Burgundy
Domaine Alain Chavy is committed to sustainable viticulture and a hands-off approach in the cellar to let the distinctive qualities of the Les Folatières terroir shine through. This philosophy ensures the health of the vineyard and the authenticity of expression in the wine. The unique characteristics of the terroir, with its rich mineral foundation and perfect exposure, are reflected in the wine’s depth, minerality, and elegance. Meticulous vinification includes indigenous yeast fermentation, minimal lees stirring and careful ageing in French oak to enhance the wine’s complexity without masking its natural charm. This thoughtful process yields a wine that perfectly balances the Chardonnay's intrinsic vibrancy with the nuanced influences of oak. This Premier Cru displays ripe orchard fruit, citrus, floral notes and a delicate minerality in a rich, yet elegantly structured palate. This wine has considerable cellaring capacity.
