Domaine Cheveau sits in the tiny hamlet of Solutré-Pouilly, beneath the great limestone escarpment of the Roche de Solutré, and the family has been working here since André Cheveau established the domaine in 1950. Today, brothers Nicolas and Julien Cheveau carry that work forward across an estate centered largely around Solutré-Pouilly. Their 2024 Aux Combes is 100% Chardonnay from a single vineyard in the commune, a site that borders Vers Cras, one of the vineyards elevated to Premier Cru status beginning with the 2020 vintage. Aux Combes itself remains village-level Pouilly-Fuissé, but its immediate neighbor is now officially recognized among the appellation's Premier Cru terroirs. Aux Combes once formed half of Cheveau's Trois Terroirs cuvée, but beginning with the 2020 vintage the family began bottling it separately, allowing this particular piece of Solutré-Pouilly to stand on its own. Its exposition has proven especially well suited to the increasingly warm summers of the Mâconnais, while the area's classic clay-and-limestone geology provides the foundation for Chardonnay. The result is a wine whose identity is tied unusually closely to one place: not a broad regional blend, but a parcel-specific Pouilly-Fuissé from a vineyard lying directly alongside Vers Cras. That specificity is what makes Aux Combes so compelling. Cheveau is a small family domaine whose wines are bottled at the estate, and Aux Combes is produced specifically for the American market. It occupies an intriguing place in the range: a single-vineyard Chardonnay from the heart of Solutré-Pouilly, beside Premier Cru ground, yet without the Premier Cru designation or corresponding positioning. In 2024, it offers a particularly pure way into the Cheveau family's vision of Pouilly-Fuissé: Chardonnay, clay and limestone, one precisely defined vineyard, and a family that has spent three generations learning how to translate this remarkable corner of southern Burgundy into the bottle.
