Tasting Notes

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.

 

About this Wine

Domaine Chavy Chouet

Two families, two villages on the Côte d’Or linked by a love for terroir over seven generations… After six years at a specialist winemaking school and with plenty of experience in winegrowing and vinification around the world under his belt, Romaric has given the estate a makeover. He has been running it single-handedly since 2006, watching over his 15 hectares of vines with a rigorous eye. He is proud of his roots, and his approach combines rigour, tradition, and innovation.

Burgundy

Burgundy is undoubtedly the home of the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnays in the world, where vineyards, or Domaines have been producing wines for over 2000 years. Burgundy is located in the North-east of France, an hours drive from Lyon and 2 hours from Paris. With over 100 appellations, or sub-regions (more than any other wine region) Burgundy is known for being the most terroir-oriented region in the World. The finest red wines of Burgundy are found in the Côte d'Or, a string of villages including Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey St Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-St Georges.

There are flavours present in great Burgundys that are the envy of Pinot Noir producers worldwide. The elusive peacocks tail finish that goes on and on, and the pretty-elegance backed by Burgundy muscle is the goal of winemakers around the globe. The main levels in the Burgundy classifications, in descending order of quality, are: Grand crus, Premier crus, village appellations, and finally regional appellations. For the Chablis wines, a similar hierarchy of Grand Cru, Premier Cru and Village wines is used, plus Petit Chablis as a level below Village Chablis.
