Puligny Montrachet Enseigneres 2017 75cl

One of the highlights of the portfolio, Chavy's 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères is excellent, wafting from the glass with aromas of lemon oil, almond paste, pastry cream and white flowers. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated and incisive, with bright acids, chewy dry extract and a chalky finish.<br/>Romaric Chavy, who succeeded his father Hubert at the helm of this 13-hecare domaine in early 2006, is a young but experienced vigneron producing pure, tensile wines that are typically distinguished by their racy acids and aromatic precision. Tangy but not reductive, the wines start out life quite tight-knit and blossom in bottle. Winemaking is simple, with élevage lasting for some 12 months on the lees in barrels mainly from Tonnellerie Gillet, some 20% of which are new for the higher appellations. The portfolio culminates with several superior Puligny and Meursault lieux-dits and four premiers crus in the same communes, reflecting this long-established family's roots in both villages.
