Saumaize-Michelin are among the finest growers in Pouilly-Fuissé, and 'Les Courtelongs' is a perfect illustration of why this appellation deserves to be taken as seriously as its more celebrated Burgundian neighbours. From vines on the limestone slopes beneath the dramatic rock of Solutré, this is a village-level Chardonnay with the kind of precision and minerality that makes you sit up straight. The 2024 vintage brought freshness and nervy acidity to the Mâconnais, and this wine wears that well — it's taut without being austere, generous without being soft. On the palate, white peach and hazelnut give way to a chalky, saline finish that lingers longer than the price tag might lead you to expect. Domaine Saumaize-Michelin is one of Tim Atkin's Top 15 Mâconnais Producers .
