This small-scale Burgundian estate based in Vergisson in the heart of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation, has about 9.5 hectares planted mainly to old-vine Chardonnay and a little Gamay. The domaine has been farmed biodynamically since 2005, with manual harvesting, low yields and separate vinification of each parcel to express terroir distinctively. Their wines — often barrel-fermented and aged on lees — has richness and volume, the faint hint of something exotic, but then there's also incredible tension, drive and energy.
In 2024 the wines from Saumaize-Michelin continue to show this commitment to site and purity; harvests from parcels like Sur la Roche and La Maréchaude reflect old vines and limestone-rich soils, giving chardonnays that combine vibrant acidity with depth and precise minerality.
Domaine Saumaize-Michelin is one of Tim Atkin's Top 15 Mâconnais Producers.
What the critics say:
"A fine, complex Pouilly-Fuissé. No overblown fruit or hefty oak here. Subtle, focused and with loads of freshening acidity. Complex with just a background hint of oak adding an extra layer of interest. Has the concentration and purity to age very well."
"Just 50 meters from La Maréchaude, this is markedly different in its expression. The nose is reserved saved some lemony accents, but the palate is rather exotic with strong floral tones alongside endive and celery. Pleasant bitterness (“les bons amers”, as the French say) provide another set of textural modulation. Delicate yet concentrated!"
