Tasting Notes
A wine of power and sparkle, destined for greatness from one of Meursault's finest vineyards. Les Charmes in full, glorious voice.
The Allure of Les Charmes
Among Meursault’s “big three” premier crus - alongside Perrières and Genevrières - Les Charmes is famed for its natural opulence and irresistible early appeal. Philippe’s 2023 captures that richness but lifts it with electric energy: sherbet-like citrus, vibrant lime, and layers of complexity that keep unfurling. It’s a wine that tempts you to drink it young but rewards the patience to watch it blossom into something profound.

The Plot
Chavy’s parcel, Charmes du Dessous, covers just 0.41 ha of old vines planted in 1939 and 1947, rooted in classic clay-limestone soils. Sitting just below the slope of Perrières, the site combines power with precision, giving wines of both volume and finesse. With only about 3,000 bottles produced in a normal vintage, it’s as rare as it is exciting.
Technical Details
Hand-harvested Chardonnay, whole-bunch pressed, fermented in tank, then finished in barrel. Aged 11 months in 228L barrels (30% new oak) 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.

This could be something very special. Incredibly complex already, bursting with lemon sherbet zip and a punchy, electric energy that lights up the palate. There’s a real thrill here, and I can’t wait to see how it evolves with age.

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, 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.
