Pouilly Fuissé Haut De La Roche Domaine Saumaize - Magnum 1,5L, 2022

Pouilly-Fuissé Haut de la Roche from Domaine Saumaize is a poised, terroir-driven Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s most respected white wine appellations. The 2022 vintage offers the combination of ripe fruit and crystalline minerality that makes Pouilly-Fuissé such a benchmark for elegant, site-expressive white Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright golden hue with green reflections, signaling both freshness and concentration. The nose is refined and layered, with notes of white flowers, citrus peel, ripe orchard fruit, and a subtle chalky, flinty edge. On the palate, expect a generous yet focused style: succulent pear, yellow apple, lemon zest, and a touch of stone fruit are balanced by lively acidity and a mineral backbone. The finish is long and precise, with enough structure to suggest very good short- to medium-term aging potential, especially as the wine gains texture and complexity over the next few years.

Production
Haut de la Roche comes from the limestone- and clay-rich slopes of Pouilly-Fuissé in southern Burgundy, where the cooler hillside exposition helps preserve freshness in Chardonnay. Domaine Saumaize is known for careful vineyard work and harvesting at optimal ripeness, with vinification designed to respect the character of the site and maintain purity, tension, and balance in the finished wine.

Food & Serving
This wine is an excellent match for roast chicken, creamy fish dishes, scallops, lobster, and dishes with morels or mild cream sauces. It also pairs beautifully with goat cheese and other fresh, supple cheeses. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C, and consider a short decant if the wine feels especially closed on opening.

Producer
Domaine Saumaize is a highly regarded family estate in the Mâconnais, with a strong reputation for expressive, terroir-focused Chardonnay. The domaine has helped reinforce the standing of Pouilly-Fuissé as one of Burgundy’s most compelling sources of white wine, and its wines are often praised for their precision, depth, and consistency.
