Dom De La Soufrandiere La Combe Desroche

$76.99

La Soufrandière was an old property located in Vinzelles, in the southern part of the Mâcon wine-producing region (in Southern Burgundy), initially purchased by Jules Bret, a Professor of Medicine. At that point, the vineyards covered an area of only one hectare, grown in Pouilly-Vinzelles Climat “Les Quarts” appellation d’origine contrôlée. The only sign remaining of its past wine-growing activity was a “tinailler” (a building typical of the Mâcon region, used to house vats), complete with an old-fashioned wine press. Jules Bret and his wife Louise (who came from Vinzelles) set about expanding the La Soufrandière vineyard by acquiring plots of vines adjoining their existing ones. At that time, all the vines were entrusted to sharecroppers (shared costs and production), while the grapes harvested were vinified and sold through the Vinzelles Wine Co-operative. La Soufrandière withdrew from the Vinzelles Wine Co-operative in anticipation of the arrival of Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume, who bottled their first vintage in 2000. Since then they have acquired more vineyards in the region and have become certified biodynamic, producing some of the most expressive wines in southern Burgundy.
