Sensory Description:

The wine opens with bright aromas of pineapple, apricot, and cured lemon, evolving into creamy textures on the palate with notes of vanilla and white peach. A line of saline minerality adds definition, while crisp acidity balances the wine’s rich core. The finish is clean, slightly creamy, and refreshingly long.

Winemaker's Background:

Chavy-Chouet is a 15-hectare estate rooted in the Côte de Beaune, stewarded by eighth-generation winemaker Romaric Chavy. Having trained under his father, Hubert Chavy, and gained winemaking experience abroad, Romaric now brings a sharp focus and modern energy to this historic domaine. With deep family ties in both Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault, the estate embraces minimal intervention, combining gravity-fed vinification, native yeast fermentations, and a refusal to fine or overly filter. The result: wines of clarity, balance, and unmistakable Burgundy character.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve at 52–55°F. A natural match for grilled fish, seared scallops, or fresh salads with citrus dressing. Its creamy edges and mineral frame also pair beautifully with soft cheeses, roasted poultry, or are enjoyed solo as an aperitif.

Vibrant yet refined, the 2023 Domaine Chavy-Chouet Bourgogne Blanc Les Saussots delivers everything you want in a white Burgundy: fruit, finesse, and purity, crafted with the intention and precision of a rising star in Meursault.
