Domaine G. Saumaize

Guy Saumaize was a third generation vigneron from Vergisson, one of the top communes in Pouilly-Fuissé. He learnt his craft from his father and honed it at oenology college. The Domaine was born in 1981, when, with bank loans and a great deal of help from his father’s contacts, Guy purchased some land on which to build a house and winery, and 14.5 hectares of vineyards across Davayé, Prissé, Solutré and Vergisson. Guy sadly died in 2013 when his son Guillaume joined his widow, Annie, to carry on his work. Originally called Domaine des Maillettes, they have changed the name to domaine G Saumaize this year, referencing both father and son.
