About Macon-Chardonnay, Corentin Chavy
Corentin Chavy is the next generation at Domaine Alain Chavy, based in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet. He has big boots to fill as the son of one of Puligny’s most prolific winemakers. While he still works alongside his father, he’s now putting his own stamp on Burgundy by producing wines under his own name. The fruit for this Macon comes from sustainably farmed vineyards at 240 to 350 metres altitude, with a mix of limestone and marl soils adding both zip and fruitiness. Fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel at the family cellar, this is a Macon with real Puligny polish.
This is a bright and expressive white Burgundy with all the hallmarks of a well-made Macon. The nose bursts with green apple, white peach, and lemon zest, leading into a mouth-watering palate layered with citrus, stone fruit, and a whisper of almond. A lovely mineral finish adds precision and poise, making it fresh, light on its feet, and thoroughly moreish.
