Vintage Character The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet 'Les Enseigneres' from Domaine Chavy-Chouet captures the essence of this renowned Burgundy village, with fruit sourced from the esteemed Les Enseigneres lieu-dit situated just below the line of Grand Cru vineyards. The 2023 vintage in Burgundy was characterized by a warm, sunny summer balanced by timely rainfall, producing white wines noted for their vibrancy, balance, and pronounced minerality.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 91 points by Jasper Morris, this wine offers a refined bouquet of white flowers, lemon zest, and ripe pear, complemented by subtle undertones of hazelnut and wet stone. The palate is elegantly textured, displaying precise, linear acidity that frames flavors of citrus, green apple, and a gentle hint of toasted almond. Its mineral-driven, lingering finish makes it an excellent match for dishes such as seared scallops with beurre blanc, roast chicken with tarragon, or a delicate goat cheese crottin.
Winery Background Domaine Chavy-Chouet is a family-run estate with deep roots in Burgundy, now in its seventh generation and led by Romaric Chavy. The domaine is based in Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, cultivating prized parcels—many with old vines—on classic clay-limestone soils. Committed to sustainable viticulture, Chavy-Chouet employs minimal intervention in the cellar, including gentle pressing, fermentation with native yeasts, and aging primarily in neutral oak barrels to preserve the purity and energy of Chardonnay. This dedication to expressing terroir and authenticity has earned Chavy-Chouet a reputation for producing white Burgundies of clarity, finesse, and remarkable transparency.
