Domaine Chavy Chouet

The discovery

Location, location, location.

In Burgundy, everything revolves around the best locations. It's a good thing that Romaric Chavy, the 7th generation, is cultivating the best 1er Cru locations around Meursault without any airs and graces.

The winery

The Chavy family and the location, location, location.

This motto describes very well why Burgundy and its wines are so famous. Even UNESCO has classified the tradition of wine cultivation in connection with the unique geological features as worthy of protection and has created the so-called Climats for the World Heritage List. At Chavy-Chouet, too, we can feel the long tradition and attention to detail in the wines. Romaric Chavy is already the 7th generation of the domaine and remains true to the approach of creating finesse-rich wines with the utmost care. He is particularly proud of the numerous Premier Cru sites such as Les Charmes or Les Genevrières, which are among the best in the region and make his wines so distinctive.

Finding first-class wines in Burgundy without having to pay the often overpriced prices is a herculean task. We were all the more receptive to the tip from our friend Kai Schubert of Schubert Wines, who drew our attention to Chavy-Chouet. Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs with such depth and character without any airs and graces are something you have to try to believe.
During a flying visit to Burgundy, we met Romaric Chavy and got to know him and his wines. We were more than impressed by what he brought to the bottles of the 2016 vintage despite his young age and his wealth of experience. Pure finesse, radiance and strong minerality. His Chardonnays are precise and make you sit up and take notice. Here we have a must-have for the wine cellar with plenty of aging potential. A masterpiece in close contact with the region's greats.

All organic or what?

There are many definitions of what NATURAL means in winemaking. Not all winemakers are certified to treat nature responsibly. So we check for ourselves on site whether a winemaker meets our standards for treating the natural product wine.

✔ Organic, vegan, unfiltered, natural, etc.

✔ Biodiversity instead of monoculture

✔ Natural products produced at the pace of nature

Trust as the most important currency

Over 50 additives can be used in wine production, none of which have to be listed on the label. Mass-produced and cheap wines are flooding the market with artificially produced smells, appearances and tastes. The security of holding an HONEST product in your hand is therefore our top priority.

✔ 100% family wineries

✔ Personal relationship with the winemaker

✔ No influence from ratings, seals or points

Responsibility for the team in the engine room

The work in winemaking is often physically demanding and time-consuming, and not just during harvest time. Cheap workers from low-wage countries are popular. Against this background, high SOCIAL standards are of fundamental importance to us.

✔ Fair wages and humane treatment

✔ Social responsibility

✔ Social commitment

"Like our Cistercian predecessors, our commitment to winemaking is all-encompassing. Our golden rule: do not skimp on resources to produce great wines."
