List of products by brand Domaine Jacques Saumaize

Located in Vergisson, at the foot of the famous cliffs, Domaine Jacques Saumaize manages twelve hectares across the finest Mâconnais appellations (Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, Mâcon-Vergisson). The Saumaize family practices rigorous viticulture, close to biodynamics, featuring manual soil work and controlled yields. The estate is renowned for its plot-by-plot approach, isolating each terroir to reveal its unique limestone signature. The wines are distinguished by crystalline fruit purity, consistently discreet oak aging, and a saline freshness that places them among the region's elite.

Chardonnay Craftsmanship

The Jacques Saumaize style is a quest for transparency. Here, Chardonnay expresses itself not through opulence, but through precision and elegance.

The pillars of Saumaize expertise:

  • Strategic Location: The vines are mostly located in the Vergisson amphitheater, a high-altitude terroir that ensures noble acidity and great mineral energy.

  • Respect for the Grape: Harvesting is manual, and pressing is slow and gentle to extract the finest juices.

  • Nuanced Aging: Wines are aged on lees, in barrels or tanks depending on the cuvée. The use of new oak is very limited (around 10-20%) to never overshadow the soil's saline character.

  • First Cru Status: With the promotion of certain Pouilly-Fuissé climats to Premier Cru status (such as Sur la Roche), the estate's historical precision is now officially recognized.
