About this Wine
One of Philippe Chavy’s most compelling Pulignys, from a tiny 0.23ha parcel touching Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru and Les Pucelles Premier Cru. Confit and toasted lemon meet white flowers and stony minerality, building through an incredibly poised palate into a finish of supreme length. Just three barrels were made in 2024.

Tasting Notes
Brushes Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru and Les Pucelles. Intense mineral Puligny with confit lemon and extraordinary length
There is an immediate sense of class here. White flowers and a cool, stony minerality lift the nose, before layers of confit lemon, toasted citrus and a gently grilled character begin to unfold.
The palate is beautifully poised. There is concentration and substance, but nothing feels static or heavy; the wine builds as it moves through the mouth, becoming more intense and complete towards the finish.
And that finish is the defining feature. Supreme length. The citrus and mineral character seem to keep going long after the wine has left the palate, with freshness and precision holding everything perfectly in place.
A tiny-production Puligny from an extraordinary position, with intensity, poise and quite remarkable persistence. Just incredible, as Rue Rousseau so often is.

The Plot
At just 0.23 ha, Chavy’s holding is tiny, planted in 1955 and 1980. Clay-rich soils at the lower end give fruit generosity, while limestone at the top edge adds drive and definition. Production rarely exceeds 1,600 bottles - scarcity that adds to the allure.
Technical Details
Hand-harvested Chardonnay, whole-bunch pressed, fermented in tank before finishing in barrel. Aged 11 months in 228L oak barrels (10–20% new), 16 months’ élevage in total.

Discover Their Story
A historic domaine in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet, crafting wines from some of the most legendary vineyards on earth.
The Chavy name rings out across Burgundy, synonymous with classically brilliant white wines. Philippe took the reins in 1990, inheriting Puligny parcels from his father (planted in the 1950s) and Meursault from his mother (going all the way back to 1932), with one of Saint-Aubin’s most iconic plots thrown into the mix.

A few words from people who’ve opened our bottles
FAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now, but a little patience could make it even more rewarding. Open one soon, then tuck another away if you want to watch it develop.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.
What if I’m not sure this is my style?
Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
