Domaine Chavy-Chouet
Les Enseignères Puligny-Montrachet Chardonnay
The vintage where Chavy turned up the volume. Awesome nose of apple, spice, mineral, a lanolin like quality, just so pure and expressive. Superbly mineral. With authority. Palate is decadent yet firmly mineral and accented with perfect amounts of sweet oak, just a lovely hit of opulence and tremendous acids. Long, winding and gorgeously mineral finish. Very pure and very good. So delicious. As it airs loads of mineral complexity on the palate and lovely iodine saline hits on the finish.

Nov 21st, 2019The nose just announces itself with rich hazelnuts, extremely well integrated oak, lemon, apple, white peaches and also exceedingly mineral and almost smells like a breeze. Quite complex with terrific aromatic depth. On point. Palate is classic CC, with incredible balance between richness and super rocky minerality. Reminds me of river stones in a babbling brook. As it is young there is a hint of wood on the palate but I’ve had enough of these to know this will integrate. Impressive texture, balance and terrific purity. The inner mouth aromas Are so clear and vivid. It’s so elegant yet substantial. Structured, dense, juicy and explosive. So long and pure. Brilliant wine. Will age for a decade at least.

Oct 25th, 2018Beautiful P-M fruits, too young, better as the wine warms, over ripe pineapple, light oak, well balanced mineral, this wine is still hiding it's true self.
