Domaine Alain Chavy Puligny Montrachet 'Les Folatieres' Premier Cru 2023
Produced in France within the Puligny Montrachet appellation of the Côte de Beaune, this 100% Chardonnay is sourced from one of the most prestigious Premier Cru vineyards in the region. Alain Chavy established his eponymous domaine in 2003 after a division of his family's long-standing estate, continuing a winemaking heritage that dates back to the 1970s. The winery is celebrated for a philosophy of restraint, utilizing minimal bâtonnage and a careful balance of new and neutral French oak to ensure the authentic minerality of the terroir remains the focal point.
Wine Description
This Premier Cru presents a brilliant yellow hue and a highly expressive nose featuring intense citrus, orchard fruits, and white peach, complemented by delicate acacia flower and a signature smoky reduction. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and sophisticated, offering a creamy, mealy texture that is balanced by a powerful mineral backbone and vibrant acidity. The finish is exceptionally long and refined, showing nuances of toasted nuts and vanilla from 12 months of aging in French oak.
Food Pairing
The wine’s rich texture and crystalline minerality make it an excellent partner for elegant seafood dishes, such as grilled sea bass, lobster with fennel, or scallops snackées. It also pairs beautifully with poultry in cream-based sauces, such as traditional Poulet de Bresse, or earthy starters like sweetbread terrine.
