2023 Domaine Cheveau "Sur Le Mont" Macon-Solutre-Pouilly

“Sur Le Mont” gathers Chardonnay from a stony parcel perched below the famed Rock of Solutré.
Hand-picked grapes ferment cool in stainless tanks, locking in orchard-fresh aromas and razor acidity.
Six months on fine lees lend satin breadth without muting the vineyard’s bright, mineral pulse.
Golden pear, Meyer-lemon curd, and white blossom glide across a spine of flinty tension, then a hint of hazelnut whispers on the mid-palate.
Bone-dry and vibrantly precise, the wine finishes long, salty, and mouth-watering—pure southern Burgundy elegance for any table.

Nose: Pear skin, lemon verbena, and acacia hover over crushed chalk and a trace of almond.

Palate: Juicy green apple and citrus zest ride lively acidity, framed by subtle lees cream and flint.

Finish: Long, clean exit echoes grapefruit pith, wet limestone, and delicate nutty warmth.

Elevates seared sea-scallops in brown butter, roast chicken with tarragon, or a wedge of young Comté—the wine’s crisp fruit and mineral poise sharpen every bite.
