Domaine Cheveau is one of the most compelling and exciting producers in the Mâconnais: old vines in prime vineyard sites, sustain-able viticulture, low yields, hand harvesting, spontaneous fermentations, and extended élevages help set it apart from the ocean of Mâcon blanc coming from the region’s fertile plains.
The cellars of the Domaine Cheveau are situated in the hamlet of Solutré-Pouilly in the heart of the appellation of Pouilly-Fuissé.
The vineyards dedicated to Chardonnay are composed of the classic clay – limestone composition that provides the perfect ambience to produce the grand wines of Burgundy.
All harvesting at the Domaine Cheveau is done by hand and the wines are fermented and vinified parcel-by-parcel. Fermentation and aging is done either in barrel or stainless steel tank depending on the particular terroir of each site. Overall production is approximately 60,000 bottles per annum.
Very Happy to Offer
2022 Domaine Cheveau ‘Les Pouliches’ Chardonnay Beaujolais Blanc
$240 case 100% Chardonnay
Elegant, flinty chardonnay. Pome fruit, butter biscuit to boot. Full yellow stone fruits, finishes with limestone minerality.
Aged for 11 months in stainless steel, this is rounder and richer than the Bourgogne Blanc, but still possesses the riveting focus and sense of just-so equilibrium that characterize all of the domaine’s white wines. |
