The Cheysson family have owned their estate since 1868, when Émile Cheysson acquired the property. Previously, the Monks of Cluny Abbey owned the land. They cleared the hills to plant vines, established a priory, and in the 17th century, built a cellar that is still used by the Cheysson family today. Currently, the vineyards cover 26 hectares, mostly in Chiroubles, on a mosiac of different sandy and granite soil types with colorful local names: Côtes Rôties, Grille midi and Les Roches. Jean-Pierre Large has managed the estate for the Cheysson family for the last 20 years, making a name for himself as one of Beaujolais' most prestigious vignerons. The wines he crafts at Domaine Cheysson are known for their aromatic purity and pristine quality of fruit, which is no surprise after learning his motto: "Fruit, glorious fruit!"
Cheysson l'Exception is 100% Chardonnay fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit. Mid-yellow in the glass with light green reflections, this Beaujolais blanc displays beautiful aromas of ripe stone fruits mixed with white flowers. Juicy flavors of Granny Smith apple, white peach and apricot dominate the palate balanced with a soft mineral component and an invigorating acidity that calls you back for your next sip. A perfect counterpart to most seafood dishes... Try it with shrimp scampi, broiled trout or steamed lobster. L'Exception would also be great with classic roasted chicken.
