Domaine Cheveau - Saint-Amour Villa Violettes 2019
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"Favorite its Mâconnais wines, Domaine Cheveau now joins the ranks of the greats in Saint-Amour with this cuvée, whose name evokes the family home built in 1685 and located in the village. In the vineyard, it is a blend from three plots planted with 40-year-old vines. In the glass, an exciting wine with an intense color, opening unreservedly to red and black fruits enhanced by delicate floral and woody nuances. This intensity is reflected in a full-bodied, rich, silky palate, supported by velvety tannins and oak that blends perfectly with the fruit. The long, spicy, deep finish is the final touch that wins you over. » (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022) Last bottles available!
