Description

Domaine Cheveau Macon-Fuisse 'Les Grands Bruyeres' 2024Produced from 40 year old vines in the village of Fuiss. Planted to limestone clay soils, these vineyards produce a typically generous, rich wine from this village famed for its ideal setting that yields some of the finest wines of the Maconnais. In this instance, after fermentation, the wine is raised in stainless steel but left in contact with the fine lees for one year.

60% Grenache planted in the 1950s and 2000s and 40% Syrah from the 1980s are destemmed and vinified separately with wild yeasts in concrete vats over three weeks with periodic pumpovers

Two characters that complement each other well
