Domaine Cheveau

The domaine cheveau, a very safe bet of the Mâconnais, is located in the hamlet of Solutré-Pouilly, in the heart of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation. The estate was founded in 1950 by André Cheveau. Today, the 14ha estate is managed by André's grandson, Nicolas. The vineyard still focuses on its historic stronghold, Pouilly-Fuissé, with very pretty plots also in Davayé (Mâconnais) and Saint-Amour (Beaujolais).

The harvest is manual and the wines are aged largely in oak barrels, between 8 and 12 months depending on the vintage. Ageing on fine lees gives the white wines a very nice balance between chalky and crunchy minerality, on fresh fruit, apricot, white peach and nectarine. The red wines are sweet and digestible, combining finely acidulous red fruits and a pretty grain of tannins not devoid of structure.

The domaine cheveau remains an estate offering wines of superb value for money and whose greed wines enchants us every year.
