2019 Saumaize Michelin

Situated in Vergisson in the heart of the Mâconnais, Domaine Saumaize Michelin produce a range of whites from 9.5ha across Pouilly-Fuissé and Saint-Véran. Christine and Roger Saumaize, now joined by their children Vivien and Lisa farm their 9.5ha biodynamically with very limited yields, all harvested manually. Barrel fermentation and maturation on the lees produces broad, sunny, spicy wines which punch well above their modest price points.

William Kelley in The Wine Advocate comments “The wines are concentrated and structured, exemplifying the artisanal excellence that seems to proliferate in Vergisson, and the fleshy, concentrated 2019 vintage represents a fine success.”
