Saint Veran En Crèches Domaine Saumaize - Magnum 1,5L, 2022

Saint-Véran En Crèches from Domaine Saumaize is a poised Burgundy Chardonnay that captures the pure, mineral-driven character of southern Mâconnais. Made from a celebrated appellation known for elegant, high-quality white wines, it offers a refined expression of the 2022 vintage with freshness, depth, and a distinctly terroir-led profile.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine typically shows a bright pale gold color with green reflections, signaling freshness and energy. The nose is delicate yet expressive, with notes of citrus peel, green apple, white flowers, and subtle hints of stone fruit and wet stone. On the palate, it is precise and silky, balancing ripe Chardonnay fruit with lively acidity and a pronounced mineral edge. Expect a clean, focused finish with enough concentration to develop gracefully over the next few years, although it can already be enjoyed for its youthful charm.

Production
En Crèches comes from one of the best-situated sites in Saint-Véran, where limestone-rich soils and the cooler influences of Burgundy’s southern Mâconnais help preserve freshness and define the wine’s mineral backbone. Domaine Saumaize works with careful vineyard management and hand harvesting to select healthy, perfectly ripe grapes. Vinification is typically aimed at preserving purity and tension, with a measured use of cellar techniques to highlight the vineyard rather than mask it.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with shellfish, grilled white fish, roast chicken, sushi, creamy poultry dishes, and goat’s cheese. Serve it chilled at around 10–12°C, and while decanting is not necessary, a short aeration can help if served very young.

Producer
Domaine Saumaize is a respected producer in the Mâconnais, known for crafting precise, terroir-expressive white Burgundies, especially from Saint-Véran and Pouilly-Fuissé. The domaine has earned a strong reputation for quality and consistency, with wines that reflect both meticulous vineyard work and a clear commitment to showcasing the character of each site.
