Pouilly Fuissé Vieilles Vignes Domaine Saumaize, 2022

Pouilly-Fuissé Vieilles Vignes from Domaine Saumaize is a distinguished White Burgundy that showcases the depth and finesse old-vine Chardonnay can deliver in the southern Mâconnais. The 2022 vintage combines ripe fruit, freshness, and a beautifully layered texture, making it a compelling expression of one of Burgundy’s most respected appellations.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a luminous pale gold color. The nose is expressive and refined, with notes of white flowers, citrus zest, ripe orchard fruit, and a subtle touch of hazelnut and minerality. On the palate, it is elegant and concentrated, offering flavors of pear, yellow apple, lemon peel, and a gentle creamy richness balanced by crisp acidity. The old vines lend extra depth and persistence, while the finish is long, precise, and lightly chalky. With its structure and balance, this wine has the potential to age gracefully for several years, developing greater complexity and nuance over time.

Production
Made from old-vine Chardonnay in the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation of Burgundy’s Mâconnais region, this wine benefits from limestone-rich soils and a cool continental climate that help preserve freshness and aromatic lift. The old vines naturally produce lower yields, contributing to greater concentration and texture in the finished wine. Vinification is typically carried out with care to preserve the purity of the fruit and the character of the terroir, resulting in a Chardonnay that is both expressive and balanced.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast chicken, grilled fish, shellfish, lobster, creamy risotto, and rich poultry dishes, as well as soft cheeses like Comté or Brie. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C. Decanting is not usually necessary, but a short period of air can help open the wine if it is served young.
