Country: France

Region: Burgundy

Type: White Wine

Grape: Chardonnay

Domaine Cheveau is situated in the hamlet of Solutré-Pouilly in the heart of the appellation of Pouilly-Fuissé.  The domaine was established by André Cheveau in 1950. His grandsons, Nicolas and Julien are now running this fourteen-hectare estate.  The vineyard holdings are predominantly located in and around Solutré-Pouilly but extend into Davayé in the Maconnais and Saint Amour in the Beaujolais. 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. 

‘Les Grandes Bruyères’ is made of chardonnay hand harvested from 40 year old vines on the iconic clay-limestone soils of Fuissé, lending an elegant richness characteristic of the wines of the Maconnais. After fermentation, the wine is raised in stainless steel with one year of lees contact. Graceful, bright sunny lemon zest aromas lead into crisp, crunchy green apple flavors on the palate. Bright citrus and stony minerality.
