Tasting Notes
Old vines, real depth – classic Meursault with a playful spark from one the greatest vineyards of the Côte de Beaune.
Classic With a Twist
The 2021 vintage brings out the more traditional, rounded side of Les Charmes, yet Philippe’s old vines in the lower part of the vineyard add depth and gravitas. It’s a wine of balance: creamy and full, but cut with just enough zip and sparkle to make it sing. Serious Meursault with a playful edge - a classic you’ll want to revisit again and again.

The Plot
This cuvée comes from Chavy’s 0.41 ha holding in Charmes du Dessous, with vines planted in 1939 and 1947. The lower section of Les Charmes gives a naturally richer style, rooted in clay-limestone soils, with the maturity of the vines adding both weight and complexity.
Technical Details
Hand-harvested Chardonnay, whole-bunch pressed, fermented in tank, then finished in barrel. Aged 11 months in 228L oak barrels (30% new) with 16 months’ élevage total. Bottled by hand using the traditional chèvre à deux becs.

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.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now and should give plenty of pleasure straight away. Open it for its perfume, texture and charm rather than waiting for the perfect distant moment.
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.
