2015 Jean-Louis Chavy Puligny-Montrachet Les Clavoillons

Le Clavoillon is a 15-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the appellation of Puligny-Montrachet, in Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. It is just north of Les Pucelles, and the soil is contains more clay than in the vineyards to the south. It is nearly a monopole of Domaine Leflaive, which owns nearly 12.5 acres of the vineyard.

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
