Perfect as an aperitif, but also great with summer salads. Pair this wine with green asparagus, as the slight bitterness complements the lightly earthy character of the asparagus beautifully. The green fruit notes of this wine also enhance the flavor of the asparagus. It also pairs well with white meat and veal. Vegetable dishes like casseroles, meat ragouts, or risottos also work wonderfully with this wine.
A family-run estate in the heart of Burgundy, operated for generations by winemakers with a deep-rooted passion for their craft. The estate is located in the Mâconnais region, specifically in the village of Vergisson, known for its limestone soils and excellent conditions for producing white wines, especially Chardonnay.
Today, the estate is 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 of the region, including Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, and Mâcon-Vergisson. These areas are known for their refined wines with a beautiful balance of freshness, minerality, and complexity.
The winemaking at Domaine Sangouard-Guyot is based on respect for the environment and the natural balance of the vineyard. Sustainable methods and minimal chemical interventions are prioritized. 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 barrel aging. Whether it's a fresh Saint-Véran or a complex Pouilly-Fuissé, these wines are loved by Burgundy wine enthusiasts around the world.
The Mâconnais is primarily known for its white wines, mostly 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 marked by a fine minerality reminiscent of the top wines from northern Burgundy, but with a softer and more accessible style. The wines from the Mâconnais often have a pronounced terroir, subtly differing from village to village, giving each bottle its own character.
At Burgundy or Nowhere, you will find a wide 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-Veran is renowned for its impressive depth and complexity at a reasonable price. Our goal is to offer wines where the price reflects what’s inside the bottle, and not just the name on the label.
