100% Chardonnay from Mâcon-Fuissé, France.

The Domaine Cheveau was established by Andy Cheveau in 1950 in the village of Solutre-Pouilly. The vineyard where the fruit is sourced is located in Chaintre, the southernmost village in the Maconnais.

The vines are young -- averaging 15 years old -- and after a manual harvest the grapes are pressed pneumatically with a long & slow temperature fermentation and aged in stainless steel for 8 months in the lees.

This is a clean & pure expression of Chardonnay from this part of Burgundy -- consistently marked by notes of lemon, orange, & grapefruit along with lively acidity, fruit blossom aromas, & excellent balance!
And only 300 cases come into the United States each year!
