The 2022 Jean-Louis Chavy, Puligny-Montrachet was a Merchant's Pick
Puligny Montrachet Panache!
October 09, 2024
Seamlessly integrated, boasting the best attributes of the much talked-about and highly-prized 2022 Burgundy vintage, the 2022 Jean Louis Chavy Puligny Montrachet is long on the finish and loaded with graceful fruit and balanced acidity.
Simply put, Chavy's Puligny Montrachet is sublime!
A wave of freshness wafts from the glass revealing citrus blossom, stone fruit, and fresh apple; the aromatics precede a near-perfect palate. Pure and fantastically integrated, no one element pushes or pulls; rather, the flavors and textures effortlessly play off one another. White peach, chalky minerality, blanched almond, Anjou pear, spice, and (barely) a hint of vanilla bean present on this endless finish. The 2022 vintage lends this particular Puligny to approachability now as well as fifteen years of enjoyment.
2022 was a gorgeous vintage. Jasper Morris calls the 2022 harvest “bountiful and beautiful,” and Wine Spectator notes the “balance and freshness” of the wines from this great vintage.
Now and then, we come across a Chardonnay like this one and can't help but utter, "Now that's what a white Burgundy should taste like."
Extremely limited. We have the lion's share of what was imported, which is not a lot.
Enjoy!
