Chavy-Chouet's 'Les Femelottes' Bourgogne Blanc is essentially Puligny-Montrachet in disguise. Nestled within the village limits of Puligny, this vineyard is just a stone's throw from some of the most sought-after terroirs for white wine. It's a hidden gem, missing out on the village classification due to those old-school appellation rules, but don't let that fool you. An amazing bargain (better than many Puligny-Montrachets costing double) Les Femelottes is a rounded, expressive wine of exceptional flavour and class.

- Romaric treats 'Les Femelottes' with the same care as his pricier Puligny and Meursault wines, making it a steal in our range. One taste and you'll be wondering why it's not priced higher.
- The vines lie inside Puligny-Montrachet and make a nearly identical wine, without the hefty price tag.
- Bottled ready to drink.
- Try it with roast chicken, pork, or a cauliflower steak.

"Very cool and refreshing on the nose... Very nicely balanced with real Côte d'Or build. Raciness and a dry finish. Delicate and appetising... Good value.''
