Story
Jacques Saumaize
Pouilly-Fuissé · Burgundy · France
The story of the estate begins with a couple, Jacques & Nathalie, who in their twenties decided to devote themselves to wine production in the Maconnais. In 1982, they embarked on their winemaking journey with just a few hectares of vineyards in the areas of Saint-Véran & Pouilly-Fuissé. In 2012, the couple's son joined the winery after working for several years in vineyards in South Africa.
“At the farm, organic practices have always prevailed, but since 2018 they have also adopted some biodynamic methods.”
Their vision is to best express the various faces of Chardonnay. Thus, the vinification of the grapes is done per vineyard plot because here, depending on the exposure, altitude, slope, presence of sunlight, and soil type, Chardonnay can express itself in infinite shades. The result is wines with depth, complexity, and finesse.
