Description

Domaine Cheveau Pouilly-Fuisse 1er Cru 'Vers Cras' 2023The esteemed Vers Cras vineyard, in the commune of Solutr Pouilly, was elevated to premier cru status with the 2020 classification, and Cheveaus old holdings here comprise plantings from 1950 and 1987. Always their most balletic and powerfully mineral Pouilly Fuiss, Vers Cras spends 12 months in 600 liter oak barrels only a tiny fraction of which are new, followed by 12 months settling in stainless steel before bottling.

The palate similarly elicits wonder—a dynamic and potent unfurling of lip-smacking minerality

that is extended exposure of the grapes to sun and high luminosity

and warm dust evokes the sun-scorched slopes of the appellation in visceral fashion

Vinified and aged like the Falanghina

occasionally rustic character backed by rugged

patience and attention to detail in the cellar

but it remains adamantly on the fresh side of the divide

The vineyard holdings of the Domaine de la Chapelle des Bois extend across the Fleurie boundary into Chiroubles

the wine is bottled without fining or filtering

Stadlmann’s Pinot Noir (called “Blauburgunder” locally) is simultaneously fresh and substantial

medium-bodied example of the grape
