Domaine Cheveau Description
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.
“Pouilly” is considered *the* great premier cru of Pouilly-Fuissé, the appellation having gained approval for premier cru status of 22 vineyards starting in 2020, and Cheveau owns vines in three of its climats: “Au Buchot” (which they no longer bottle separately), “Morlay”, and “Le Clos”, the oldest of which were planted in 1946. As with all of their wines, the grapes are manually harvested and fermented with native yeast, and the wine is raised on the lees for one year in 600-liter barrels followed by a year in stainless steel tanks. “Pouilly” is the consummate Pouilly: rich but fresh, powerful and vibrant with persistent minerality.
