Only three domaines own parcels here; Alain Chavy's vines were planted in 1953, giving them roughly 70 years of age. The soils are limestone-dominant with clay subsoil, classic Puligny structure, and the position on the slope delivers the fine balance of richness and tension that this appellation builds its reputation on. Clavoillons tends toward precision and length rather than weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Chardonnay. Alain practices lutte raisonnée in the vineyard, plowing for weed control and using no herbicides. The 2023 vintage was the largest in Burgundy's recorded history, and from 70-year-old vines in a single premier cru parcel, the quality is concentrated and clear. Ripe citrus and white peach, textured mid-palate, and the long mineral finish that Clavoillons reliably produces. Subtle oak that recedes with time. This is a wine that will reward patience and is already talking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe People\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlain Chavy created his own domaine in 2003 when he and his brother divided the family estate. He took 17 acres, mainly in Puligny-Montrachet, including a tiny parcel of 1953-planted Clavoillons vines, making him one of just three producers with access to this vineyard. Two decades of consistent work in this premier cru have established Alain as one of the more reliable producers in the appellation, with a philosophy built on the belief that Puligny's minerality should always be the clearest voice in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrilled lobster with beurre blanc, sole meunière, roast chicken with cream and tarragon, or aged Comté. Puligny at this level handles fat and richness well; the mineral spine and natural acidity keep it fresh through a serious meal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Classic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49980279455967,"sku":null,"price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0439\/7436\/1248\/files\/P6040253.jpg?v=1780628750","url":"https:\/\/denverwinemerchant.com\/products\/alain-chavy-puligny-montrachet-1er-clavoillons-2023","provider":"Denver Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
