NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Domaine Alain Chavy Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Clavoillons' is a remarkable white wine that showcases the elegance and finesse of the Puligny-Montrachet appellation.On the nose, this wine displays enticing aromas of ripe citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, along with delicate floral notes of white flowers. There is also a subtle hint of toasted almonds, adding a touch of richness to the bouquet.
The palate is equally impressive, with a harmonious balance between the vibrant acidity and the luscious fruit flavors. The citrus notes continue to shine through, accompanied by flavors of ripe pear and a hint of tropical fruit. The wine's texture is silky and smooth, with a creamy mouthfeel that adds to its overall elegance.
The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of freshness and purity. This wine has excellent aging potential, and with time, it will develop even more complexity and depth.
