Domaine Cheveau ‘Pouilly’ Pouilly-Fuisse 1er Cru, 2020

This wine is made of 100% Chardonnay. “Pouilly” is considered the great premier cru of Pouilly-Fuissé, the appellation having gained approval for premier cru status of 22 vineyards starting in 2020. The juice is raised on its lees for one year in large barrels, followed by another year in stainless steel. This is exemplary Pouilly, rich and powerful, but fresh with vibrant minerality. We would pair this with fried pork chops or spaghetti alla nerano, a fresh Italian pasta dish with fried zucchini and provolone del Monaco.
