Tasting Notes

Romaric Chavy took over the estate in 2014, making him the eighth generation to make wine in his family. Romaric learned from his father, Hubert Chavy, who founded the winery. Chavy-Chouet is one of the oldest families in Puligny-Montrachet. The Ropiteau family (on his mother's side) is the oldest one in Meursault.

This is a wine that truly evolves over time. The Chardonnay in the bottle is delicate and well balanced, blending hints of hazelnut, blossom, ripe apples, vanilla and delectable citrus fruits. Upon bottling, this is an appealing but discrete concoction. This 2018 vintage, however, has aged to perfection, adding a spicy potency to the finesse and aftertaste that makes it truly memorable. Like all Chardonnay, this is a drier taste experience with an oaky aftertaste, but it lives long on the palate and remains irresistibly tempting once the cork has ben popped. In many respects, the moniker says it all - Les Charmes is effortlessly charming.

Critic Scores

Mid lemon and lime. A fuller yet still fine bouquet. A light biscuit note from the barrel. One of the many Charmes this year where the fresher element of the vintage has done some good. There is no doubting the weight of fruit at the finish, but the Chavy-Chouet Charmes has impressive energy, a sense of lift at the back which will stand it in very good stead.

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.
