PULIGNY-MONTRACHET 1ER CRU 'FOLATIèRES' 2010, DOMAINE CHAVY-CHOUET Half-bottle

TASTING NOTES

Based in the village of Puligny-Montrachet, Romaric Chavy of Domaine Chavy-Chouet is currently making some of the best value white Burgundies on the market. The Folatieres vineyard is considered the greatest of the Puligny-Montrachet Premier Crus, and wines from this vineyard can go for extraordinary sums of money. On name alone, then this is a bargain, but the quality more than lives up to its billing. A truly exceptional white Burgundy.

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!
