For many years, this domaine sold its fruit to Bouchard Père Fils. Upon the retirement of AlbertChavy, Philippe's father, several years back, Philippe decided to take over the 8-hectare domaineand to begin producing wines of his own. For the last two years, he has hit his stride and has beenmaking some fantastic wines. His wine style is notably "full throttle" and his wines offer superbconcentration and depth. For those who look for white Burgundy that they can sink their teeth into,they will find their nirvana with Philippe's wines. Unfortunately, his efforts seem to be off the radar of most wine journalists as they do not really know he exists. The only prominent journalist who appears to be somewhat familiar with his wines isAllen Meadows of Burghound.com. In one of his newsletters he wrote, "I had the chance to tastethrough his range and found them to be very impressive so I have included them here" [Issue 23].(Burghound.com, July 2006).Read less

Region
Puligny Montrachet
Puligny Montrachet is known as the most delicate of the white wine appellations south of Beaune.Its wines tend to be linear and mineral offering delicate floral and orchard fruit aromatics. Its village and premier cru vineyard area total slightly over 200 hectares but almost half of them are premier cru making them one of the highest proportions of quality vineyards in the Côte de Beaune. Several grand cru vineyards are present, the most notable being Le Montrachet and Bâtard Montrachetwhich it shares with neighbouring Chassagne, but it does have the extraordinary Chevalier Montrachet and the tiny Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet all to itself. There are a handful of red wines grown, but they tend to be quite light and need to be drunk in their youth.
