Seiichi Saito is another Japanese winemaker who is beginning to make a big impression in France. He moved there back in 2006 to study winemaking in Beaune, as well as perform work experience at Domaine Simon Bize. Previously in Japan he had obtained a diploma in soil science, and it was from this that he gained an interest in vines and vineyards. He did a year’s experience at a Japanese winery, and then decided to move to France to learn more.
He formed a great relationship at Domaine Simon Bize, where he ended up working for the next 7 years. After this he moved to Domaine Leflaive for a year, to learn more about biodynamics. Next it was with Domaine Jacques Frédéric Mugnier and finally with Domaine Armand Rousseau, before deciding to take the plunge and start his own operation. Not only has he paid his dues, but he’s learnt from some of the best in Burgundy.
