One of the highlights of the portfolio, Chavy's 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères is excellent, wafting from the glass with aromas of lemon oil, almond paste, pastry cream and white flowers. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, and incisive, with bright acids, chewy dry extract and a chalky finish.

About this wine
Domaine Chavy-Chouet is a family-owned winery located in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet, a village in the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy, France. The estate has been producing wine for over 200 years, and is known for its exceptional white wines made from Chardonnay grapes.
The Les Enseignères vineyard is one of the most prestigious sites in Puligny-Montrachet, and is located just south of the village. The soil is rich in limestone and clay, which gives the wine its characteristic minerality and complexity. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before being pressed and fermented in oak barrels. The wine is then aged in oak for 12-18 months, depending on the vintage.
The resulting wine is a beautiful expression of Puligny-Montrachet, with aromas of white flowers, citrus, and honey. On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, with flavors of ripe peach, apricot, and toasted oak. The finish is long and elegant, with a touch of acidity that balances the wine perfectly.
Domaine Chavy-Chouet is committed to sustainable farming practices, and uses only natural fertilizers and pest control methods. The winery also employs traditional winemaking techniques, such as hand-harvesting and aging in oak barrels, to ensure that each wine is a true reflection of its terroir.
