Rating: 3.0/5
This Puligny-Montrachet Les Charmes, courtesy of Domaine Alain Chavy, presents itself with a deep gold colour and clear clarity. On the nose, we find a medium plus intensity of apple, pear aromas with secondary notes of vanilla and butter, accompanied by a hint of honey and almond. In the glass, the palate shows a silky texture with a medium body and medium tannin, cut by a refreshing medium plus acidity and balanced medium alcohol.
