*****

Based in the village of Vergisson at the higher, northern end of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation, Brother and sister Vivien and Lisa Saumaize works the 12 hectares of vines organically and has introduced new techniques including the use of a cold chamber for chilling the fruit before pressing and the fermentation of part of the crop in 56 litre glass globes. In 2023, Vivien harvested early from 1st to 15th September and has made a magnificent range of rich, opulent wines that ally ripe, honeyed fruit and crisp acidity.

'En Pommard' is a single vineyard at the base of the Roche of Solutré. The high altitude and north-easterly exposure enables the fruit to ripen slowly and retain highly desirable acidity. A splendid, crisp wine with excellent bite and minerality. Excellent lenth too. Great value. Drink 2025-2028.
