The Chavy family has deep roots in Puligny, dating back nearly 200 years, but the modern chapter began in 1976 when Gérard Chavy took a bold step by ceasing to sell his grapes to négociants and instead bottling wine under his own label.
In 2003, Gérard’s sons, Alain and Jean-Louis, amicably divided the estate to pursue their own visions, each establishing a domaine. Alain Chavy now stewards 7 hectares, including some of Puligny-Montrachet’s most prestigious Premier Crus. Renowned for his restrained winemaking style, Alain prioritises purity of fruit and a minimalist approach, allowing the terroir to shine.
His wines are celebrated for their remarkable freshness, precision, and tension, embodying the essence of Puligny with elegance and finesse. Today, Domaine Alain Chavy is regarded as a gem at the heart of this iconic appellation.

What the critics say:
"The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Village, raised in 25% new oak with one-third in large barrels, has a fragrant apple blossom and lemon thyme scented bouquet that is very intense for a village cru. The palate is well balanced with a crisp, mineral opening, fine tension with good weight on the concentrated finish. Drink over the next decade."
