BOURGOGNE BLANC 'LES FEMELOTTES' 2010, DOMAINE CHAVY-CHOUET

TASTING NOTES

"This is a 'humble' but hugely enjoyable wine from a producer with vines across Burgundy's most famous vineyards. Ripe and lush, it's laden with flowers, tropical fruit and a distinct mineral facet. 4* stars - 17/20."
Decanter, February 2012

This Bourgogne Blanc is Romaric Chavy's entry-level wine, made with fruit sourced from the Femelottes vineyard. Beautifully balanced, it has more class than most Puligny-Montrachet at twice the price.

PRODUCER NOTES

Romaric Chavy is the 7th generation of the family to work their vines. The activity of filling bottles only started in 1982 with Romaric’s grandfather – before they supplied everything to the négoce. That first vintage began with 4,000 bottles – by 2005 Romaric’s father, Hubert was bottling up to 25,000 bottles – once Romaric finished his ‘school’ in Beaune (2006) they started filling 80,000 bottles – just a few barrels still go to the négoce. Romaric also had spells working abroad, and in Burgundy with his godfather, Francois Mikulski.
The Chouet in the domaine’s name refers to Hubert’s ‘first wife’ – when ‘first’ became ‘apparent’ there were some subsequent vintages where the label became only ‘Hubert Chavy’ but Romaric is heading back to the Chavy-Chouet!
