{"title":"Domaine Cheveau","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the hamlet of Pouilly, at the very heart of the Pouilly-Fuisse appellation, Domaine Cheveau has been making white Burgundy for three generations. What began as a modest holding in the 1950s is today a family estate stretching from the Maconnais into the Beaujolais.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe estate's roots in Pouilly date to the 1950s, with the domaine established by Andre Cheveau in 1950. His son Michel, who married Jocelyne from a Saint-Amour vigneron family, expanded the parcels at the core of Pouilly-Fuisse. Their children Nicolas, Julien, and Nicolas's wife Aurelie now run the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/domaine-cheveau\"\u003eDomaine Cheveau producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"le-clos-macon-chaintre-cheveau-macon-france-white-wine","title":"Domaine Cheveau Le Clos Mâcon Chaintré 2016","description":"\u003cp\u003eLe Clos is a single, walled-in parcel of Chardonnay planted on clay and limestone soils in Chaintré, the southernmost village of the Mâconnais. The vines sit on a gentle east-facing slope between 180 and 218 meters above sea level, where Quaternary-period clay mixed with pebbly scree from the erosion of Bajocian hillside provides good drainage without sacrificing depth. At the time of this 2016 vintage, the vines were approximately 20 years old.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrapes are harvested by hand, pressed pneumatically, and fermented slowly at controlled temperatures in the underground cellars at Solutré-Pouilly. Fermentation occurs without chaptalization. The wine then ages in stainless steel on its fine lees for eight months before a light filtration at bottling. No sulfites are added.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is an unoaked Chardonnay with citrus-forward aromatics — lemon, orange, and grapefruit — supported by fruit blossom notes and a minerally finish. The absence of oak keeps the wine precise and direct; the eight months on lees adds texture without weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDomaine Cheveau farms organically and vinifies each parcel separately. This cuvée represents the entry point of their Mâconnais range and consistently delivers clean, citrus-driven Chardonnay at Mâcon-Chaintré appellation level.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Cheveau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12382151016503,"sku":"CHEVMACO16C","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/le-clos-macon-chaintre-cheveau-macon-france-white-wine.jpg?v=1780673296"}],"url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/collections\/domaine-cheveau.oembed","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
