Domaine Cheveau, Chardonnay "Les Vignes du Hameau" Pouilly-Fuissé, Burgundy, France 2022

Nicely rich and dense on the palate with ripe citrus and stone fruits, the wine finishes with a refreshing cut of chalky minerality.

From an assembly of old-vine parcels planted in the heart of the hamlet of Pouilly, dating back to the establishment of the domaine by André Cheveau in 1950. The soils are loamy brown clay and limestone with quartz and flint stones. Grapes are harvested by hand and vinified with indigenous yeasts, then raised for 14 months on the lees in 600-liter demi-muids.

The cellars of the Domaine Cheveau are 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 efforts were followed by his son, Michel, and now Michel’s two sons, Nicolas and Julien are actively running this fourteen (14) hectare estate. The vineyard holdings are predominantly located in and around Solutré-Pouilly but extend as well 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.
