Alain Chavy produces restrained, structured, and long-lived white Burgundies from 17 acres of
vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet, with small holdings in the neighboring villages of Chassagne
and Meursault. Alain established Domaine Alain Chavy in 2003 with vineyards inherited from his
father and includes some of Puligny's top premier crus.
En Remilly is a south-facing premier cru sitting directly above the grand crus of Puligny and
Chassagne. Alain purchased this piece of land, which had never been planted with vines, and
struggled to plant the young vines in its very rocky soil, first having to break the large pieces of
limestone on the surface. The site yields very elegant wines that are full of minerality.
Alain inoculates for fermentation and believes in keeping bâtonnage to a minimum. He uses a
combination of 400-liter oak puncheons and up to 25% new Burgundian pièce for the premier
crus. “We’re looking for a balance between the fruit and oak character,” explains Alain. “We
want the wines’ minerality to show through.”
T A S T I N G N O T E S
Wines from St-Aubin display some of the same tension, structure and minerality found in the
neighboring villages of Puligny and Chassagne. Aging in a small percentage of new French oak
barrels lends accents of toast and vanilla.
F O O D P A I R I N G
White Burgundy, with its rich texture and toasted flavors, pairs well with white fish and shellfish
and its naturally high acidity can counterbalance cream-based sauces. Oak-aged Chardonnay
from warmer climates lends itself well to grilled fish, starches, butter, and toasted nuts.
