Product Description

Overview

Winery: Saumaize-Michelin

Saumaize Michelin Pouilly Fuisse Marechaude is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.

A beautiful Pouilly-Fuisse from "La Marechaude" parcel that Saumaize-Michelin acquired in 2013. Planted on clay and limestone slopes and hand harvested, this Chardonnay offers fresh and elegant notes of white flowers, crisp, citrus and exotic fruits. Powerful and mineral on the palate with a fantastic balance, finesse and freshness. The exceptional terroir brings minerality and juicy flavors of stone fruits, peach and melon supported by subtle toasty notes.

It is now a Premier Cru.


Review:

The 2023 Pouilly-Fuissé La Maréchaude 1er Cru, which is so steep it has to be worked manually and where they are trialling higher trellising, has just a soupçon more exoticism than the Sur La Roche with hints of apricot, citrus fruit, vervaine and light chamomile scents in the background. Quite complex. The palate is fresh and crisp, very harmonious with hints of nectarine and apricot, fine mineralité and tension though maybe not quite as sustained as the Sur La Roche on the finish. But this is still a fine Premier Cru.

The Domaine Saumaize-Michelin Estate

This family estate is owned by Roger and Christine Saumaize-Michelin and is located in the Village of Vergisson, the best of the five villages for Pouilly-Fuisse. The estate built new cellars in 1991 and uses 10 - 25% new oak per vintage.

"Roger Saumaize, meticulous vineyardist and skilled winemaker, makes Macon whites, including four different Pouilly-Fuisses; dense and rich for the region, they behave more like great Cote de Beaunes." - Anthony Dias Blue's pocket guide to wine 2006

The Domaine Saumaize-Michelin Vineyards

This 9 hectare estate is planted to 8.5 hectares of Chardonnay and half an hectare of Gamay for Macon Rouge. The vines are 40-45 years old of age on average. All of the wines are 100% barrel fermented and 100% M-L fermentation. Roger Saumaize makes about 3,800 cases of wine per year under three different appellations: Mâcon-Villages, St Véran and Pouilly-Fuisse.
