Saint Aubin Premier Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chiens 2022
Saint Aubin Premier Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chiens
Saint Aubin Premier Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chiens
Yellow apple with smoky almond butter.
A muted straw yellow with golden reflections swings through the glass.
On the nose: ripe yellow apple, apricots, almond butter, hazelnut and a little yeast plait. In the second puff, something smoky, honey, grapefruit and pear.
The stimulating acidity is very well integrated and reflects the yellow fruit character. The tannin (very delicate, but present) gives the wine a long finish. A slight salty tickle takes the minerality to a new level, especially in the finish.
The vines for this wine are 30 years old. The Premier Cru spent 12 months in wood, 20% of which were new barrels.
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.
