The wines of Domaine Saumaize offer a pure expression of Chardonnay, particularly in the Pouilly-Fuissé and Saint-Véran appellations. They possess a beautiful freshness and a minerality typical of the limestone soils of the Mâconnais. The texture is often rich, with a precise balance between ripe fruit and vibrant acidity. The wines show excellent aging potential, evolving favorably over time.

Domaine Saumaize, anchored in the heart of the Mâconnais, is a family estate renowned for its Saint-Véran and Pouilly-Fuissé wines. The history of the estate is one of deep attachment to this land and a commitment to revealing the authenticity of its terroirs.
Today, Jacques and Nathalie Saumaize, joined by their son Anthony, carry on this tradition. The estate spans plots selected for their distinct character, allowing for a faithful expression of the limestone soils that shape the identity of the wines. This parcel-based approach, attentive to the nuances of each terroir, results in wines of great precision. The estate’s rise in quality has been marked by the recognition of several of its plots as Premiers Crus, a testament to the excellence and potential of Saumaize wines. The estate thus continues to champion the richness and diversity of the Mâconnais, remaining committed to respecting the terroir and a constant pursuit of quality.
