Tasting Notes
Les Pucelles, undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest white wine vineyards, in full glory. Florals, citrus, sleek texture.
The Quintessence of Puligny
Les Pucelles is hallowed ground. Sitting just beneath Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, it’s widely considered one of the world’s greatest vineyards for white wine – the epitome of Puligny elegance. Philippe’s 2023 bottling is all about purity and depth: lemon, peach, tangerine, and honeysuckle layered with minerality and white blossom, finishing with a whisper of vanilla pod and white pepper spice. Sleek, multi-layered, and full of energy, it’s a wine of remarkable grace and power.

The Plot
Philippe farms just 0.20 ha here, with vines planted in 1947. Two tiny parcels produce a mere three barrels – around 1,300 bottles – each year. Soils are classic Puligny clay-limestone, giving minerality and precision. In a vineyard where the neighbours sell for thousands, this is as rare as it gets.
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 in total. Bottled by hand using the traditional chèvre à deux becs.
📖 A Little Story…
Burgundy is full of legends, and none more colourful than this: the Chevalier-Montrachet, so the tale goes, seduced a young maiden (la pucelle), whose offspring were less noble – hence Bâtard-Montrachet. Whatever the truth, Les Pucelles retains its name and reputation as a vineyard of grace, perfume and purity – qualities that shine through in every glass.

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.
