Domaine Chavy-Chouet Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes AOC 2023

The Chavy family has established itself as an important producer in the Côte de Beaune region, but Domaine Chavy-Chouet has remained somewhat in the shadows, with its owner Hubert Chavy selling most of his production to leading merchants for many years. Everything changed when his son Romarik took over the family estate. Today, they bottle almost everything they produce under their own name. Romarik began studying at the Wine School at the age of 12 before becoming an apprentice to his godfather François Mikulski in Meursault. After that, he worked in South Africa, Spain, Greece, and Languedoc, and at 22 returned to his father. Incredibly experienced for his age, winemaker Romarik is fully focused on realizing the incredible potential of his "star" vineyards. About 40% of the estate's vines are located in the village of Puligny-Montrachet, where Romarik has the best plots in such impressive vineyards as "Les Enseignères", "Les Folatières", and "Champ Gains". Romarik has dedicated his life to viticulture with a free spirit, an intense and dynamic approach. His ambitions are to produce the best wines that reflect the very essence of appellations such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin, Volnay, and Pommard. The wines of Domaine Chavy-Chouet are full and rich but possess an astonishing freshness and vitality that allow for enjoyable drinking in youth. Chavy-Chouet is truly an exciting domain, and Romarik is sure to become a star in the not-so-distant future.
