Perfect as an aperitif or with delicious summer salads. Enjoy this wine with green asparagus as well; that same bitterness beautifully complements the lightly earthy character of the asparagus. The green fruit in this wine also adds extra flavor to the green asparagus. It pairs well with white meat and veal. Vegetable dishes such as casseroles, meat ragouts, or risottos also go excellently with this wine.
A family business in the heart of Burgundy, run by winemakers with a deep-rooted passion for their craft for generations. The estate is located in the Mâconnais region, specifically in the village of Vergisson, known for its limestone-rich soil and excellent conditions for producing white wines, particularly Chardonnay.
The estate is currently led by Pierre-Emmanuel Sangouard, who continues the tradition of his ancestors with a modern vision of winemaking. The winery owns vineyards in some of the best appellations in the region, including Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, and Mâcon-Vergisson. These areas are known for their refined wines with a beautiful balance between freshness, minerality, and complexity.
The viticulture at Domaine Sangouard-Guyot is based on respect for the environment and the natural balance in the vineyard. Great attention is paid to sustainable practices and minimizing chemical interventions. This results in wines that embody the pure expression of their terroir.
Wines from Domaine Sangouard-Guyot are often characterized by their elegance and rich aromatic profiles, with notes of white fruit, flowers, and subtle oak tones from refined aging in barrels. Whether it's a fresh Saint-Véran or a complex Pouilly-Fuissé, these wines are beloved by Burgundy wine enthusiasts around the world.
The Mâconnais is primarily known for its white wines, mainly made from the Chardonnay grape. The region has several appellations, with Mâcon-Villages, Viré-Clessé, Pouilly-Fuissé, and Saint-Véran being the most prominent. These wines are fresh, fruity, and often characterized by fine minerality reminiscent of the top wines from northern Burgundy but with a softer and more approachable style. The wines from the Mâconnais often display a pronounced terroir that subtly differs from village to village, giving each bottle its unique character.
At Burgundy or Nowhere, you will find an extensive selection of Mâconnais wines, from well-known names to hidden gems. We are particularly excited about the wines from Domaine de la Chapelle, whose Saint-Véran is known for its impressive depth and complexity at a reasonable price. Our goal is to offer wines where the price reflects what is in the bottle, not just the name on the label.
