From vineyards within the Puligny-M appellation, this ‘basic’ Bourgogne Bkanc is a steal!
Fresh & supple with yellow apple, a hint of exotic fruit, some shortbread, but there’s also nice tension & purity here.
On the palate this poised, elegant, brilliantly balanced. So juicy & with great flow & depth. Drinking beautifully right now!
I’ve had quite some Puligny’s or Chassagne’s much worse than this! — 6 months ago
Crisp, clean with apple and citrus notes. Paired with roasted halibut in a buerre blanc. — 2 months ago
Medium light lemon yellow . Quite cool , citrus focused on the nose , touches of white flowers and chalk dust . Fills out well on the palate with nice lemon , white peach notes , oyster shell good balanced acidity, without any excess weight. Ok length , just a hint of toastiness on the finish. Drinking well now and over the next 5 years . — 5 months ago
Выпито 2- м вином в тот же вечер. Более маслянистое. Послабее, чем первое. — 6 months ago
This is in a fantastic place. Composed fruit, taught acidity, lovely length, sort of Chablis like but with deeper Meursault vibes. An excellent qpr for this lieu dit. I was surprised how well balanced and vibrant this is. I suppose not all ‘18s are sub par. Love this producer. — 7 months ago

Cod in the grill basket tonight and anyone that knows about flakey white fish on the grill knows that prep of fish/basket is critical, otherwise you're enjoying segments, not a whole fillet. This session turned out like a champ, with crust, much ❤️ to the grill master 😉. — 5 months ago
Outdoor tasting season is upon us on the east coast and I couldn’t be happier. Nose of lemon and lime zest plus lime fruit. Subtle notes of oak and iodine. Really compelling minerality and purity. Such a great vintage at Chavy. Palate is so energetic and full of lime, lemon and barely ripe green apple skins. So juicy and clean. Unreal purity and length. Excellent. So tangy with loads of bitter but and barely sweet citrus. — 6 months ago
