Domaine Saumaize-Michelin Pouilly-Fuisse Pentacrine 2022

A collection of plots from soils with a high proportion of chalk with star-shaped fossils from which it takes its name. 40% aged in large, 350-litre demi-muids for subtle oak influence.

Attractive nose of lemon and orange citrus with added mango and pineapple. Beautifully rounded and ample on the mid-palate with a buttery texture underpinned by pure, mineral-laced acidity that envelops a core further citrus and tropical fruit with added white pepper spice.

Located underneath the imposing Roche de Vergisson, owners Christine and Roger have managed the 10 hectare domaine since 1978. For the last 20 years, they have been practising organic viticulture and eventually masde the leap to biodnyamic in 2005 - although they are not certified. Their dedication to caring for the health of their soils and vines is reflected in the beautiful and elegant wines they produce.
