Description
Domaine de la Soufrandière , located in Vinzelles , Burgundy , is run by Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume Bret , two passionate winemakers who have made respect for life and precision their signature. Since their arrival in 2000, they have been cultivating their 12 hectares of vines biodynamically , Demeter certified, with the ambition of revealing the unique identity of the Mâconnais terroirs. The estate covers the Pouilly-Vinzelles, Pouilly-Fuissé and Mâcon-Vinzelles appellations, with limestone and clay-limestone soils that give the wines a beautiful mineral tension. Here, the Chardonnay expresses itself with purity and elegance, giving rise to vibrant vintages, combining finesse and depth. The vinifications are made with indigenous yeasts, without superfluous inputs, and the aging in barrels or vats is perfectly controlled to preserve the freshness and energy of the fruit. At the same time, the Bret brothers created their Bret Brothers business, which applies the same requirement to the grapes selected from partner winegrowers.
Tasting Note
Biodynamic crisp white wine. Brilliant straw yellow with delicate green yellow tears. Contained complexity in the nose which opens with many primary aromas from the vineyard, backed with a hint of oak. Gossamer sublime flavour with ripe acidity and a widely varied texture. Very long finish that points back to the vineyard. Goes well with fried and grilled fish, grilled vegetables, stews of white poultry and white meat, fresh to semi-mature hard cheeses. Serving temperature: 10°C
