Vintage Character Domaine Philippe Chavy Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles Premier Cru 2022 comes from one of Puligny’s most revered premier cru sites, a vineyard often prized for its grand cru-like pedigree and finesse. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy is widely regarded as strong: a warm, dry growing season delivered healthy fruit and satisfying concentration, while timely freshness preserved the precision that white Burgundy lovers seek. In Les Pucelles, Puligny’s signature limestone-rich soils help shape a Chardonnay of tension, fine chalky minerality and poised energy, giving this site its distinctive marriage of breadth and cut.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Expect a classically Puligny profile with aromas of lemon zest, white peach, pear and acacia, layered with subtle citrus oil, hazelnut and a gentle leesy note. The palate is dry and concentrated yet finely etched, combining ripe orchard fruit with high acidity, a silky mid-palate and a long, mineral finish marked by chalk and a faint touch of flint. Its balance of generosity and precision makes it especially compelling at table with butter-poached lobster, roast chicken with morels, or simply seared scallops with a light cream sauce.
Winery Background Domaine Philippe Chavy is a small family estate in Puligny-Montrachet dedicated to transparent, site-driven Chardonnay. Philippe Chavy is known for a measured, traditional approach that favors vineyard expression over obvious cellar signatures, with careful élevage designed to support texture and detail rather than dominate with oak. His wines have earned a following for their purity, restraint and ability to translate the nuances of Puligny’s finest climats, and this Les Pucelles stands out as a particularly refined example of that philosophy.
