"Superb Chardonnay
"A small, hand-harvested parcel of 47 ares, vinified and aged in oak barrels for 11 months, is the source of this brilliant wine, with its intense bouquet of apricot, pine sap and old boy jam. The palate is rich, ample and generous, centered on ripe yellow fruit" (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022).

About the wine:
A small, hand-harvested parcel of 47 ares, vinified and aged in oak barrels for 11 months, this wine shines brightly, with an intense bouquet of apricot, pine sap and old boy jam. The palate is rich, full and generous, with a focus on ripe yellow fruit.
About the domain :
Touched by the viticulture bug from an early age, accompanying his parents in the vineyards, Guy Saumaize naturally turned to the winegrowing profession; he also created a nursery that is recognized and frequented by many of the region's growers. Annie, his wife, took over when he passed away in 2013. Since 2018, their son Guillaume has been at the helm of this 15-hectare estate, whose name he has changed from Dom. des Maillettes to Dom. G. Saumaize.
