Not your average Bourgogne Blanc; sourced from a tiny 3 hectare plot adjacent to Puligny Montrachet
Made by Romaric Chavy, one of the up and coming young producers of the Cote
Exclusive to United Cellars, only 25 dozen were imported to Australia

Description
Sourced from vines with an average age of 40 years. Matured for 10 months in 10% new French oak.
Aroma; immediately pretty and classically white burgundy- red apple, white flowers, nectarine and citrus.
Classically white Burgundy. elegantly mineral with some red apple and nectarine fruits, citrus, blossoms and fresh minerality. Little hint of oak and lees on the palate gives texture, depth and weight. Exceptional quality, purity and elegance.
Tipped as Puligny-Montrachet’s ‘domaine to watch’ in the 1980s by Jasper Morris, Romaric Chavy has since taken over his father's estate and wasted no time in staking a claim as one of Burgundy’s next winemaking stars. Having ended his father’s practice of selling grapes to negociants, and investing in a spacious new winery, Romaric is continually making improvements to Chavy-Chouet’s hugely impressive range. ‘Les Femelottes’ – from a 40-year-old, single vineyard plot lying within Puligny itself – is round and supple in apricot and citrus. Classy, dependable, and still (whisper it) affordable white Burgundy through-and-through.
