Paul Chavy Puligny-Montrachet Blanc 2023

Paul Chavy Puligny-Montrachet Blanc 2023 captures the village’s hallmark precision. The nose opens with lemon zest, grapefruit and cool pear layered over white blossoms, with a discreet hint of toast and vanilla from well-judged oak. The palate is sleek and finely textured, driven by lively acidity and a chalk-tinged mineral line that extends the finish. Oak is present but polished, framing rather than masking the clarity of Chardonnay. Serve with delicate seafood, white fish or soft cheeses. Cellar potential sits comfortably in the mid-term, where added complexity should emerge without sacrificing freshness.
