Pouilly-Fuissé AOP La Maréchaude 2023 Domaine Saumaize-Michelin

The Pouilly-Fuissé La Maréchaude is a dry white wine produced by Domaine Saumaize-Michelin in Vergisson, in the Mâconnais region of Burgundy. Made from Chardonnay grapes grown on clay-limestone slopes facing southeast, with gradients reaching 42%, this wine reflects the producer's commitment to enhancing the terroir through uncertified biodynamic practices.

The winemaking process involves fermentation in French oak barriques, with bâtonnage every ten days for nine months and a total maturation of 12 months on fine lees. Harvesting is done manually, necessitated by the steep slope of the vineyard, and the wine is bottled according to the lunar calendar, without filtration.

On the nose, it offers aromas of white flowers, yellow fruit, and citrus, with hints of exotic fruit and toasted notes. On the palate, the wine reveals a powerful structure and pronounced minerality, accompanied by freshness, balance, and finesse, with juicy flavors of stone fruit, peach, and melon.

It pairs perfectly with fish dishes, shellfish, or soft cheeses.
