Domaine Philippe Chavy Meursault Narvaux

​Philippe Chavy has the drive and knowledge to craft top quality Burgundies. He already has the right appellations, having taken over in 2002 a little more than over 3 hectares of prime vineyards from his parents. In fact, he is one of the few growers to have an equal footing in both Puligny-Montrachet (through vines coming from his father’s side of the family) and in Meursault (through his maternal side). The domaine now extends over eight hectares, in thirty parcels scattered ad hoc throughout the two villages.

Soil is worked, there is strictly no use of herbicides or insecticides and for several years Philippe has followed the cycles of the lunar calendar when determining work in the vineyards as well as when to rack and bottle his wines.

Very pale gold, darker than many. Subtle complexity of nuts and citrus and lots of oaky spice. Concentrated and still very very fresh. - JancisRobinson.com (2006 vintage)
