Paul Chavy Meursault ‘Les Grands Charrons’ 2020 is a classic expression of this revered Burgundy appellation, drawn from one of Meursault’s most respected lieux-dits. Crafted by Paul Chavy, a winemaker with deep roots in the Côte de Beaune, this wine showcases the elegance, precision, and generosity that define top-quality Meursault. The 2020 vintage offers a particularly vibrant balance, thanks to ideal growing conditions that delivered both ripeness and fresh acidity.

In the glass, it reveals a luminous pale gold hue and an expressive bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, toasted hazelnuts, white flowers, and a hint of buttered brioche. The palate is richly textured yet beautifully poised, with layers of peach, pear, and citrus zest wrapped in subtle oak spice and a fine mineral thread. Long, refined, and mouth-watering, this Meursault is superb now with roast poultry or seared scallops, but will continue to evolve gracefully over the next decade.

Hailing from one of Meursault’s most respected winemaking families, Paul Chavy represents the next generation of Burgundy talent. After gaining experience both at home and abroad, he established his own domaine to craft wines that express the purest character of Meursault and the neighbouring appellations. Working with small, carefully chosen parcels, Paul focuses on precision and balance, producing whites that combine classic Burgundian richness with a refined mineral edge.

Although his domaine is young, Paul Chavy’s name is already drawing attention among Burgundy enthusiasts. His style is rooted in tradition yet guided by a modern sensitivity—gentle handling in the cellar, measured use of oak, and an emphasis on freshness and terroir expression. Each cuvée reflects both the heritage of the Chavy family and Paul’s own vision, offering wines that are elegant, authentic, and unmistakably Burgundian.

Chardonnay (100%)

Chardonnay is one of the most versatile and widely planted white grape varieties in the world, renowned for its adaptability to diverse climates and winemaking styles. Originating in Burgundy, where it reaches its most elegant and mineral expression, Chardonnay can range from crisp and steely to rich and opulent, depending on where and how it is made. Its relatively neutral character allows it to reflect both terroir and technique—whether aged in stainless steel for a lean, citrus-driven profile, or in oak barrels to develop notes of vanilla, toast, and creamy texture. Flavours often include apple, pear, lemon, peach, and tropical fruits, with cool-climate examples offering tension and minerality, while warmer regions yield fuller, rounder styles. From Chablis to Napa, Margaret River to Sicily, Chardonnay remains a benchmark for quality and diversity in white wine.

Burgundy - in eastern France, is one of the world’s most revered wine regions, celebrated for its deep-rooted history, complex terroirs, and single-varietal expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Unlike Bordeaux's grand blends, Burgundy focuses on purity and place, with wines that reflect the nuances of individual vineyards—sometimes just a few rows of vines. The region is divided into key subregions: Chablis in the north (crisp, mineral whites), the Côte de Nuits (prestigious reds like Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée), the Côte de Beaune (home to legendary whites like Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet), as well as the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais. With a mosaic of limestone-rich soils and a cool continental climate, Burgundy produces wines of finesse, elegance, and remarkable aging potential. Its system of classifications—from regional to village, premier cru, and grand cru—is rooted in centuries of tradition and terroir-driven philosophy.
