Vintage Character Domaine Philippe Chavy Meursault 2022 is a village-level Meursault from the Côte de Beaune, crafted from Chardonnay in one of Burgundy’s most celebrated white-wine communes. The 2022 vintage is widely regarded as strong in Burgundy: a warm, dry growing season produced healthy fruit and generous ripeness, while preserving enough freshness to keep the wines energetic and well defined. In Meursault, clay-limestone soils and a patchwork of well-situated village parcels give this appellation its hallmark balance of breadth, mineral tension, and quietly powerful structure.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The wine shows classic Meursault character, opening with ripe lemon, yellow apple, pear and white peach, followed by white flowers, citrus zest and a discreet hazelnut-and-cream note. On the palate, it is dry and layered, with a supple, gently rounded texture balanced by medium-high acidity and a chalky, saline edge that carries through the finish. Subtle lees richness and restrained oak framing add depth without obscuring site expression. It pairs especially well with roast chicken with morel cream sauce, grilled Dover sole, or seared scallops with brown butter.
Winery Background Domaine Philippe Chavy is a small family estate based in Meursault, with Philippe Chavy continuing a long local vigneron tradition centered on transparent, site-driven white Burgundy. The domaine works with parcels in Meursault and neighboring Côte de Beaune villages, and is particularly valued for wines that favor precision and vineyard character over excessive oak weight. Hand-harvested fruit, élevage on lees, and measured use of French oak help shape a style that is both textural and focused. That combination of classical Meursault richness and disciplined detail makes Philippe Chavy a compelling address for benchmark village Burgundy.
