Domaine G. Saumaize - Pouilly-Fuissé En Ronchevat 2018
2*Étoiles
Hachette
“Eighty-year-old Chardonnay vines, perfectly cultivated and vinified, have produced this pale gold wine with a unique aromatic profile: mango, vine peach, passion fruit, and quince. The palate, round on the attack, builds in intensity and body, and lingers into a long, spicy finish.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021)

About the wine:
Carefully cultivated and expertly vinified 80-year-old Chardonnay vines have produced this pale gold wine with a unique aromatic profile: mango, vine peach, passion fruit, and quince. The palate, round on the attack, builds in intensity and body, and lingers into a long, spicy finish.
About the estate:
Infected with the winemaking bug at a very young age while helping his parents in the vineyards, Guy Saumaize naturally gravitated toward a career as a winemaker; he also founded a renowned nursery that is frequented by many local producers. Annie, his wife, took over the reins after his passing in 2013. Since 2018, their son Guillaume has been at the helm of this 15-hectare estate, whose name he changed: Dom. des Maillettes became Dom. G. Saumaize.
