The Chavy family have lived in Puligny-Montrachet for over 200 years but it was not
until 1986, though that Gérard Chavy began estate bottling. Upon the retirement of
Gérard in 1998, the brothers Jean-Louis and Alain jointly ran the estate until 2003
when they split it with Jean-Louis creating his own estate in 2004. He now shares
most of his parcels with his brother, Alain but he did acquire a parcel of his own in
the premier cru Perrières. Total holdings are 7 hectares primarily in PulignyMontrachet. Jean-Louis makes his vines average 35 years old, he keeps a restrained
use of French oak on his wines to display the purity of fruit and minerality.

From the most recognized Napa Valley red blend comes a distinct, new wine. Made in the same iconic style as The Prisoner Red Blend, we proudly introduce The Prisoner Cabernet Sauvignon. Redefining taste once again.
On the nose, blackberry, currant, and plum are layered with dried, crushed herbs and licorice. On the palate, cedar, vanilla, nutmeg, and toasted coconut lead as plum and dried blackberries culminate in a lush, full mouthfeel and a lengthy, balanced finish.
Chef Brett recommends pairing The Prisoner Cabernet with Grilled Ribeye or Aged Gouda Cheese.
