Anita Neveu

Coming Up

Since 2015, the winemaker’s brief at Domaine Anita in Chénas, Bourgogne du Sud, France has asked Anita Neveu to work with precision and a clear sense of place. The setting matters: in Chénas, the seasons and soils are part of the day-to-day vocabulary of the cellar, and Neveu’s approach has been shaped in that context. Her practice reads as attentive and restrained, with the vineyard’s character kept in view and the resulting wines grounded in locality.

Where They Are Now

Continuity is a defining part of the work here. By holding the winemaker role since 2015, Anita Neveu has had time to build a cellar style that can be read across bottles rather than in isolated moments. At Domaine Anita, that consistency points to discipline in the cellar: clarity over ornament, and enough restraint for each wine to hold its own line.

Signature

Anita's signature wines include Moulin à Vent Très Vieille Vigne, Moulin à Vent La Rochelle, Fleurie Les Moriers, and Morgon Cuvée Château-Gaillard. Read together, those cuvées map the range of her style: polished, site-led, and defined by a balance of lift and structure. In Neveu’s hands, the lineup keeps to line, texture, and restraint, allowing the named parcels to stay legible in the glass.

In Their Words “A sense of subtlety and refinement permeates the lineup, yet the wines read as direct, pure, and unpolished.” That is a useful description of the technical balance at work. The wines are presented with enough finesse to feel composed, but with a directness that keeps them from seeming overworked. Texture, line, and freshness remain part of the read. “I put all my passion and my heart as a passionate winegrower into this cuvée.” The line points to the labor behind the polish. In cellar terms, that kind of commitment usually shows up in the care given to detail, and in the persistence required to shape a cuvée with personality and poise.

Honors

Anita's honors include Moulin à Vent Cœur de Vigneronne - 100/100 James Suckling, Moulin à Vent Cœur de Vigneronne - 94/100 Wine Enthusiast, and Moulin à Vent Cœur de Vigneronne - 95/100 James Suckling. Those scores place the wines in the critical conversation while reinforcing the exacting, expressive line associated with her work at Domaine Anita.
