Product Description: Domaine 47°N 3°E Chablis 2022 is a refined and expressive wine from one of the most exciting young producers in Chablis, Guillaume Michaut. Sourced from two vineyard plots in the heart of the Chablis region, the wine is crafted with a respect for both the environment and traditional winemaking techniques.

Located at the crossroads of 47° North and 3° East, Guillaume’s estate is a true reflection of the region’s rich history and terroir. The vineyard, with its family legacy dating back to the 1960s, was originally planted by Guillaume’s grandfather in the village of Beines. His grandfather’s early commitment to quality plantings was instrumental in earning the village its Chablis appellation recognition. Now working on his own since 2018, Guillaume applies his meticulous approach to a small but precious selection of family-owned vines, producing wines that embody both tradition and innovation. His deep connection to the land and respect for its natural rhythms are at the core of every bottle produced at Domaine 47°N3°E.

Guillaume’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that the true expression of a wine comes from the soil and grape, not from excessive winemaking techniques. His vineyards are cultivated organically, with a focus on sustainability and maintaining the health of the land. Drawing inspiration from his internship with Nicolas Maillet in the Mâconnais, Guillaume uses native yeasts and avoids sulfur during fermentation, only adding a minimal amount at bottling. Each cuvée is crafted to showcase the unique character of the land, with the focus on balance and purity, allowing the wines to speak for themselves. Whether aged in stainless steel or oak demi-muids, each wine from Domaine 47°N3°E reflects the care and attention to detail that goes into every step of production, ensuring wines of exceptional quality and authenticity.

Jean-Louis Chavy Puligny Montrachet Les Perrieres is a wine of fine mineral nuance. More cerebral, a delight on its own. With its fine and dainty floral aromas, then broad and rich in the mouth with a certain power and lovely length. From 0.146 ha of vines planted in 1986 which were purchased by Jean-Louis. This wine spends eleven months in the barrel followed by a further seven in stainless-steel tanks. 25-30% new barrels. "Jean-Louis Chavy’s wines are a masterclass in finesse, showcasing the purity of Puligny-Montrachet’s terroir." - Jancis Robinson. Maker: The Chavy family has been rooted in Puligny-Montrachet for over 200 years, but it was not until 1986 that Gérard Chavy began to estate-bottle his wines, previously selling them to négociants. Following Gérard's retirement around 2005, the estate was divided into two separate entities managed by his sons, Jean-Louis and Alain Chavy. Jean-Louis Chavy has since developed a state-of-the-art winemaking facility, complete with a temperature-controlled cellar situated at the base of the village. This allows him to work comfortably while ensuring the wines are stored in optimal conditions. His son, Paul Chavy, has been part of the estate since before the pandemic and has embarked on creating his own range of wines, sourcing fruit from regions including Saint-Aubin and as far as Gevrey-Chambertin. The Chavy family continues to uphold a legacy of quality and tradition in their winemaking, offering a tantalising glimpse into the heart of Burgundy. For father and son terroir expression is paramount, with wines crafted in a consistent manner allowing the unique soil and exposure to shine through. Jean-Louis and Paul Chavy’s wines are effortless and unforced, showcasing exceptional fruit purity and a clear expression of terroir in each 1er cru. With his son Paul now working full-time at the estate after completing his winemaking studies, the added support in both the vineyard and cellar translates to even greater precision and clarity in every bottle. These wines embody a classic style, aging and developing gracefully over time. Quantities are always limited, and they sell out quickly upon release. So best to grab them while you can. The Philosophy: Vinification is classic with whole bunch pressing and 24 hours of settling with temperature control and only natural yeasts used for fermentation. Jean-Louis has not used any battonage on any cuvees for some years now. The average age of vines at this estate is impressive with most vineyards now aged between 30 to 50 years old though some in Folatieres and Clavoillons amongst the oldest planted in 1952. For the elevage of the wines the use of new oak is restrained with the village Puligny seeing only 15% new oak and the 1er cru’s just 25%. Recent years have seen a move towards 350 litre barrels for ageing to have less oak influence. Unfortunately there are no Grand cru vineyards among his holdings, however his 1er cru’s are located very close to some of the best vineyards in the heart of Puligny. Nose - Delicate Florals, Struck Match, Cream Fine and delicate floral aromas, accompany the sweet spice of the oak and the tart tangy notes of the citrus. Palate - Broad and Rich, Ripe Orchard Fruits, Powerful Aristocratic, with complexity combining concentration, ripeness, acidity and minerality. Finish - Steely Edge, Minerals, Roasted Nuts Excellent combination of ripe fruit and acidity with a steely edge on the finish. A fine example of premier cru Puligny which won't disappoint.
