Chavy-Chouet Bourgogne Rouge 'La Taupe' 2022

Tipped as Puligny-Montrachet’s ‘domaine to watch’ in the 1980s by Jasper Morris, Romaric Chavy has since taken over his father's estate and wasted no time in staking a claim as one of Burgundy’s next winemaking stars. Having ended his father’s practice of selling grapes to negociants, and investing in a spacious new winery, Romaric is continually making improvements to Chavy-Chouet’s hugely impressive range. 'La Taupe' comes from old vines near Pommard and offers some attractively soft and gently spiced fruit that punches well above its humble village appellation.
