There is no better producer in the Mâconnais than La Soufrandière, a family domaine owned by the Bret Brothers. The brothers also buy grapes from neighbors and other growers who have the same meticulous philosophy as they and bottle them as a négociant under the label, Bret Brothers. Those wines are also a safe bet a well, delivering more than you would expect from the price. This Pouilly-Vinzelles could be considered their flagship. Planted by their grandparents, it is a 10-acre limestone rich plot with perfect exposure in mid-slope facing east. Jean-Philippe explains that most of the vines are 70 years old, but there are some young vines — only 40 years old! The spectacular 2022 Pouilly-Vinzelles Les Quarts delivers a dazzling array of subtle fruitiness, firm minerality in a tightly wound body. You realize its stature and power when it explodes in the finish. La Soufrandière’s wines develop magnificently — if you can keep the corkscrew away from them.
750 mlThe MÂCON-VINZELLES « Le CLOS DE GRAND PÈRE » is the Pouilly-Vinzelles La Soufrandière’s younger brother and comes from a plot belonging to their maternal Grand-Father. The vines – aged 50 on average- lay on the lower part of the Pouilly-Vinzelles slope.
They form a very old « clos » on a rocky vein of hard limestone. The terroir is asserting itself, an all wines are certified biodynamic.
