Tasting Notes
Old-vine depth meets integrated freshness in this rare Puligny jewel. Easy to see why it's one of the world's greatest vineyards.
The Quintessence of Puligny
Les Pucelles remains one of the most magical vineyards in Burgundy, and Philippe’s 2021 shows its pedigree in full. Old vines planted in 1947 yield a wine of volume and finesse: generous fruit carried on integrated acidity, with a delicate touch of biscuit and citrus zest adding nuance. Elegant, layered and long, this is Puligny at its most refined.

The Plot
Philippe farms just 0.20 ha here, planted in 1947, producing only about three barrels – roughly 1,300 bottles – in a normal year. The soils are clay-limestone, classic Puligny, and the two small parcels lie just below Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, a position that gives Pucelles its famed perfume and grace.
Technical Details
Hand-harvested Chardonnay, whole-bunch pressed, fermented in tank before finishing in barrel. Aged 11 months in 228L barrels, in 2021 split between one new and one one-year-old barrel. 16 months’ élevage in 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, 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.
