The outstanding Pouilly-Fuissé firm of Domaine Cheveau, run by brothers Nicolas and Julien, also make outstanding Beaujolais. A great introduction to their lineup is the Villa Violettes cuvée, assembled from three parcels of 60+ year-old vines planted to sand, schist and granite. A few days of cold maceration, a two-week cuvaison and eight months resting in stainless steel tank yields a Cru Beaujolais of impressive amplitude and explosive aromatics. Outstanding!
