Domaine Saumaize-Michelin Pouilly-Fuissé Ampelopsis 2018

The 2018 Domaine Saumaize-Michelin Pouilly-Fuissé Ampelopsis is a remarkable Chardonnay from Burgundy’s Mâconnais region. This limited-edition cuvée combines barrels from four distinct terroirs, produced only in exceptional vintages to highlight the estate’s finest expression.

Aged for 20 to 22 months, this wine develops a beautifully refined texture and depth. Initially reserved, it evolves over time to reveal an intricate flavor profile of ripe orchard fruits such as golden apple and pear, layered with hints of citrus zest and floral undertones. A subtle touch of vanilla and hazelnut from oak aging adds richness, balanced by vibrant minerality and lively acidity.

On the palate, the wine offers precision and complexity, with a creamy mouthfeel that transitions seamlessly into a long, polished finish with lingering notes of lemon curd and a bit of wet stone. Perfectly paired with creamy white meat dishes, elegant seafood meals, this Pouilly-Fuissé enhances any dining experience.

The Ampelopsis cuvée exemplifies Domaine Saumaize-Michelin's commitment to crafting wines that balance power and finesse while showcasing the purity of their unique terroir.
