Domaine Alain Chavy Puligny Montrachet 'Les Folatières' Premier Cru 2023
Vintage Character
In the prestigious Puligny-Montrachet appellation, the 2023 Domaine Alain Chavy 'Les Folatières' Premier Cru showcases a brilliant marriage of site and season. The 2023 vintage in Burgundy was highly generous, featuring a warm summer that yielded ripe fruit while retaining excellent fresh acidity, making it a highly successful year for white Burgundy lovers. Situated on the steep, stony slopes of Les Folatières—one of Puligny's most revered Premier Cru vineyards—the 1965-planted old vines dig deep into active limestone and clay soils, yielding a wine defined by its intense mineral drive and elegant tension.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
On the nose, this Premier Cru reveals a refined bouquet of white peach, citrus blossom, toasted almonds, and crushed wet stones. The palate is intensely concentrated yet remarkably light on its feet, delivering layers of ripe lemon, green apple, and a distinct chalky minerality that persists through a long, saline finish. This structured Chardonnay pairs exquisitely with pan-seared sea scallops in butter sauce, roasted turbot, or a delicate Cantonese steamed grouper with ginger and scallions.
Winery Background
Domaine Alain Chavy was established in 2003 when Alain and his brother divided their father’s historic estate, allowing Alain to pursue his own elegant, terroir-driven winemaking philosophy. Working from his underground cellar—one of the few in Puligny-Montrachet—Alain champions minimal intervention and restrained oak aging to let the vineyard’s voice shine. With only about 0.45 hectares in Les Folatières, this micro-production gem represents a masterclass in classic, mineral-driven Burgundy craftsmanship.
