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. 

Harvesting 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.

Elegant and complex, this wine comes from vineyards in the Cheveau’s home village of Solutré-Pouilly, with vines still young at 15 to 20 years of age. A vibrant, citrusy wine with excellent minerality and length, the élevage is done in stainless steel with lees contact for eight months prior to bottling.
