Nestled in the heart of the Mâconnais region, the Domaine Cheveau crafts wines that are a pure expression of their terroir, and the 2023 Macon Solutré-Pouilly ‘Sur le Mont’ is no exception. This Chardonnay is a vivid representation of its birthplace on the Mont de Pouilly, where red clay and rocky soils create a wine bursting with energy and elegance.
This wine begins with hand-harvested Chardonnay grapes grown on vines planted between 1985 and 2011.
Fermentation is carried out with wild yeasts, and the wine undergoes a 12-month élevage with two-thirds in stainless steel to preserve freshness and one-third in 300-litre oak barrels for added texture and complexity. The result is a wine that seamlessly balances vibrant citrus brightness with a subtle, elegant depth.
Tasting Note: Fresh citrus notes meet a beautiful minerality, offering a wine that’s delightfully balanced and full of character. Lightly oaked and hugely concentrated in its orchard fruit, this is a Chablis-esque style. A vibrant, precise wine with excellent minerality and length. Drink now or savour it over the next five years. This bottle is your ticket to the heart of Burgundy’s magic!
