Saint-Véran, Domaine Saumaize-Michelin, 2021

We are so excited to present for only our second year this wonderful Domaine - Saumaize Michelin. Yet another stand out producer and even in this trickier vintage the wines really are something else! Unsurprisingly I'm not the only one enchanted by this small domaine in the Mâconnais... Neal Martin, Allen Meadows and William Kelley are all worshipping at the altar of Saumaize-Michelin, and it's time we all joined them! Tasting the range earlier this month I was shocked by how well they stood up to the Cote d'Or, outshining even the odd Puligny 1er Cru! Allen Meadows continues to wax lyrical about each cuvees, so be sure to grab a case before they vanish in this frustratingly short vintage.

” This is also aromatically pure, cool and airy with a more citrus-infused nose. Here too there is excellent volume and intensity to the medium-bodied flavors that flash almost as much minerality on the bone-dry, youthfully austere and borderline aggressively lemony finish. This may be too much for some." 87-89pts, Allen Meadows Burghound
