The Chavy family have been in Puligny for almost 200 years but the story begins much later in 1976 when Gérard Chavy decided to stop selling his grapes to négociants and bottle his wine under his own label. In 2003 Gerard’s sons, Alain and Jean-Louis, decided to split the estate following artistic differences and started their own Domaines.
Alain Chavy’s seven hectares covers some of the most prestigious Puligny Premier Crus and with a restrained style that focuses on purity of fruit, has quickly become a jewel in the heart of the appellation. With a hands-off approach, and a focus on freshness, Alain produces wines of purity, precision and tension.
His vineyards are sustainably farmed, with all cuvées hand harvested and barrel fermented at low temperatures; Alain’s secret to maintaining depth, complexity and energy. The Chavy holding in Les Clavoillons is all that stops Domaine Leflaive from having the monopole of this 5.59 hectare vineyard.

What the critics say:
"Cask sample. Another step-up in noticeable oak influence on the nose, but not excessive. Time needed to mesh the oak flavours with the very crisp, lemony acidity but everything is in place. Deep, mouth-watering and with great intensity and length."
