Domaine Cheveau Aux Combes Pouilly-Fuissé 2024

Bright and expressive, with aromas of white blossoms, green apple, fresh pear and lemon zest layered with delicate herbal notes and chalky, stony minerality. The palate is vibrant and focused, balancing ripe citrus flavors and lively acidity with a silky, polished texture. Powerful yet elegant, it finishes long and lifted with remarkable mineral precision.

Made from 100% Chardonnay grown in the single vineyard of Aux Combes in Solutré-Pouilly, directly bordering Vers Cras, a neighboring vineyard elevated to Premier Cru status in 2020. The vineyard's clay and limestone soils and favorable exposure contribute to the wine's freshness and concentration, even in warmer growing seasons. Grapes are harvested by hand and fermented with native yeasts before spending one year on the lees in 600-liter barrels followed by another year in stainless steel tanks.

Domaine Cheveau is a family-run estate in the hamlet of Solutré-Pouilly, with roots dating back to 1950 when André Cheveau established the domaine. Today, brothers Nicolas and Julien continue the family's three-generation tradition of crafting precise, terroir-driven wines from the heart of the Mâconnais. Aux Combes was once part of the domaine's Trois Terroirs cuvée but is now bottled separately to showcase the distinctive character of this exceptional single vineyard. Though it remains village-level Pouilly-Fuissé, its proximity to Premier Cru terroir makes it a particularly compelling expression of the appellation.
