Domaine Saumaize-Michelin (Vergisson)

Dom Saumaize-Michelin 2023 Mâcon-Villages

Herby citrus brightness. Smells light and pure. Then nicely rounded on the palate. Relatively light but perfectly balanced, with the slightly chewy texture adding length. (JH)

Dom Saumaize-Michelin 2023 St-Véran

This smells as if there is some oak influence here – a touch of oatmeal clothes the definite citrus flavour. A piercing citrus freshness though the middle of this nicely rounded wine. (JH)

Dom Saumaize-Michelin, Sur la Roche 2023 Mâcon-Vergisson

Deeper than their St-Véran, seems both riper and spicier but the oak is subtle. Mouth-wateringly fresh as well as generously rounded on the palate. A fine balance of fruit and texture. Long, pure and harmonious already but will be better with at least another year in bottle. (JH)

Dom Saumaize-Michelin, Pentacrine 2023 Pouilly-Fuissé

Pure, intense aroma of stony citrus. Intensely mineral and sour-fresh with a chalky impression on the palate, though the fruit is ripe and the texture rounded. A delicious and complete wine. (JH)
