Domaine Alain Chavy Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles 2013

Domaine Alain Chavy Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles 2013 has a pretty, complex bouquet with touches of apricot and orange blossom complementing the mineral scents coming forth with aeration. The palate is crisp and fresh with sour lemon on the entry, a little withdrawn towards the finish but linear and focused. There is a subtle marine influence that draws you into its charms. This is a worthy follow-up to the 2012.

Puligny-Montrachet sits in the south of the Côte de Beaune. The Les Pucelles vineyard is one of the most prestigious premiers crus of Puligny-Montrachet.
