Philippe Chavy Bourgogne Chardonnay

Philippe Chavy is a family-owned winery located in the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy, France. The winery was established by Philippe Chavy, who took over from his father in 2002. It has since expanded to over 8 hectares, with vineyards situated near Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault. The winery is known for producing high-quality white wines, particularly Chardonnay, from clay-limestone soils. Philippe Chavy emphasizes sustainable viticulture practices, avoiding herbicides and insecticides, and follows the lunar calendar for vineyard and cellar work. The wines are crafted with minimal intervention, using natural yeasts and aging in older barrels to preserve the purity of the fruit. The Bourgogne Chardonnay is a fresh and charming wine, offering aromas of lemon zest, white peach, and a touch of acacia flower, with a crisp and lively palate balanced by a clean mineral finish and subtle creamy undertones.
