2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon, Alain Chavy

2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon, Alain Chavy

Clavoillon is shared between just three owners: Alain, his brother, and Domaine Leflaive. Alain’s vines are now 50 years old, and produce a concentrated, elegant example of Puligny. This 2020 has blisteringly tight acidity, twinned with mouthwatering lemon and lime fruit on the palate, and a chalky finish.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet les Clavoillons 1er Cru has a primal, grapefruit and lemon zest-scented nose. The palate is taut and crisp, shows a little more terroir than the Champ Gains with a nicely composed and elegant finish. This should age well in bottle.
