Domaine Saumaize‑Michelin Mâcon‑Villages 2023 is a bright, clean and seriously drinkable southern Burgundy Chardonnay, delivering heaps of refreshment and charm without demanding too much attention – ideal for an easy Adelaide weeknight or a relaxed seafood spread. This Saumaize‑Michelin Macon Villages 2023 really punches above its humble appellation.

In the glass you are looking at zesty lemon and grapefruit, crisp green apple and a touch of white peach, wrapped up with hints of blossom, chalk and a gentle, lightly creamy texture from careful lees work rather than heavy oak. It is medium‑bodied, lively and neatly balanced, finishing fresh, stony and nicely mouth‑watering so you are straight back for another sip.

This Domaine Saumaize‑Michelin Mâcon‑Villages 2023 is spot on with oysters, prawns, grilled whiting, salt‑and‑pepper squid or fish and chips, and also works a treat with roast chook, creamy pasta, soft goat’s cheese or a simple cheese and baguette situation on the couch.
