Jean-Louis Chavy’s 2022 Bourgogne Blanc is a brilliant introduction to the elegance and clarity that defines this Puligny-Montrachet estate. From vineyards bordering the Puligny AC, this wine punches well above its weight, offering depth, finesse, and unmistakable Burgundian charm.
Aged mostly in seasoned French oak barrels (75%) with a touch of stainless steel (25%), it’s a beautifully balanced Chardonnay that lets the fruit and terroir shine. Whole-bunch pressing, natural fermentation, and minimal oak influence give it a fresh, tense character with just the right amount of texture.
The nose is full of white peach, lemon zest, and a subtle floral note, while the palate is crisp and clean, with juicy stone fruit flavours and a hint of minerality. It’s soft, refined, and finishes with a bright, refreshing lift that keeps you coming back for another sip.
Effortless and full of charm, this Bourgogne Blanc is pure drinking pleasure and seriously good value (in context for modern prices) for Burgundy lovers.
