What is this wine?
Domaine Cheveau’s Pouilly-Fuissé “Les Vignes du Hameau” 2022 is a single-village Chardonnay from the hamlet of Solutré-Pouilly in the Mâconnais, southern Burgundy. The Cheveau family farms their limestone- and clay-rich vineyards sustainably, emphasizing low yields and hand-harvesting for concentration and purity. The wine is fermented and aged in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak, allowing the terroir’s minerality and fruit expression to shine without excessive oak influence.
Why get this wine?
Cheveau has built a quiet reputation as one of the top producers in Pouilly-Fuissé, crafting wines of precision and texture that rival more expensive Côte de Beaune whites. The 2022 Les Vignes du Hameau offers exceptional balance between ripeness and freshness—a classic expression of southern Burgundy elegance and value. It’s a go-to white for fans of clean, mineral-driven Chardonnay.
What does this wine taste like?
Vibrant and pure, with aromas of pear, white peach, and citrus blossom over a stony, mineral base. The palate is medium-bodied and finely textured, showing crisp acidity, subtle oak, and a long, saline finish.
When should you drink this wine?
