"Superb Chardonnay"
"A small 47-acre plot harvested by hand, vinification and aging in oak barrels for 11 months are the source of this brilliant wine, with an intense bouquet of apricot, pine sap, and old boy's jam. The palate is rich, full-bodied, generous, and centered on ripe yellow fruits. (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

About wine:
A small 47-acre plot harvested by hand, vinification and aging in oak barrels for 11 months are the source of this brilliant wine, with an intense bouquet of apricot, pine sap, and old-fashioned jam. The palate is rich, full-bodied, generous, and centered on ripe yellow fruits.
About the estate:
Infected with the winegrowing bug at a young age while accompanying his parents in the vineyards, Guy Saumaize naturally gravitated towards a career as a winemaker. He also created a renowned nursery frequented by many producers in the region. Annie, his wife, took over the reins when he passed away in 2013. Since 2018, their son Guillaume has been at the helm of this 15-hectare estate, which he has renamed: Dom. des Maillettes has become Dom. G. Saumaize.
