“A superb Chardonnay”
“A small 47-are plot harvested by hand, followed by winemaking and aging in oak barrels for 11 months, gives rise to this brilliantly radiant wine, with an intense bouquet of apricot, pine sap, and old-fashioned jam. On the palate, it is rich, full-bodied, and generous, centered on ripe yellow fruits. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

Food and wine pairings
It will bring out the best in the briny flavor and delicate flesh of fish, as well as in seafood or mushroom risottos—whose creamy texture is perfectly balanced by the wine’s zesty citrus notes—and fish quenelles. Saint-Véran pairs beautifully with goat cheeses, Bleu de Bresse, Comté, Beaufort, and Gruyère.

About the estate:
Having caught 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 established a renowned nursery that was 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, which he has renamed: Dom. des Maillettes has become Dom. G. Saumaize.
