Domaine Philippe Chavy, in the revered Côte de Beaune region, is a true reflection of Burgundy’s vineyards, where each vine and grape is treated with the utmost respect. Spanning 8 hectares, the estate consists of around 30 scattered plots, boasting 14 appellations and cultivating Chardonnay, Aligoté, Pinot Noir, and Gamay varieties.
Emphasizing the importance of sound grapes, Philippe Chavy’s commitment to preserving the environment and terroir is evident. He eschews herbicides and insecticides, preferring plowing, and coordinates vineyard tasks and bottling with the lunar cycle. Tradition meets innovation in the cellar, where modern equipment like the pneumatic press and temperature-controlled tanks highlight the wine’s vibrance.
After 11 months of maturation in oak barrels, the wines acquire complexity through regular lees stirring. A hi-tech filter preserves flavors before bottling. The estate’s adherence to organic practices since 2000 and biodynamic principles since 2010 underscores their deep respect for the terroir, crafting wines that exemplify Burgundy’s esteemed heritage.
