Pouilly-Fuissé has had something of a renaissance since its premier cru classifications were formalised in 2020, and Domaine Saumaize-Michelin is one of the names you'd want on your side for that argument. La Maréchaude sits on the slopes above Vergisson, on soils that lean harder and more limestone-driven than much of the appellation, and you feel it in the glass. This is Chardonnay with real grip and direction: white peach, quince, and that particular saline minerality that the Mâconnais does when it's firing on all cylinders. The 2024 vintage brought freshness and precision across Burgundy, and this wine is no exception. Domaine Saumaize-Michelin is one of Tim Atkin's Top 15 Mâconnais Producers .
