Domaine des Maillettes Pouilly Fuisse Grande Reserve - This is a dense full-bodied white Burgundy. A powerful wine, with an intense palate of ripe fruit and vanilla notes and balancing acidity, leading to a long complex finish.
Guy Saumaize, a second generation producer has 13 hectares of mostly Chardonnay in the AC's of Mâcon Davaey, St Véran and Pouilly Fuissé. Specific selection based on the terroir (clay and limestone) and separate vinification allow Guy to make expressive wines of true depth and quality, either from single vineyard sites as in the St Véran or a blend of sites in the Pouilly Fuissé Grande Reserve.
Fermented in barrique, this wine then spent 12 months in a mixture of new and older French oak.
