Bourgogne Blanc

Cheveau's Bourgogne Blanc comes primarily from a 1.3-hectare planting in granitic soil in the commune of Leynes, at the border between the Beaujolais and the Maconnais, and is augmented by smaller plantings in Chânes and Saint-Vérand. Aged 90% in stainless steel, 10% oak barrels of 600-liter capacity are employed to provide a judicious touch of roundness and complexity. A forward nose of flowers and orchard fruits leads into a palate of precision, density, and notable length for the appellation.
