Ripe Stone Fruit, Crushed Chalk, White Flowers, and Pouilly-Fuissé Depth

The 2024 Bret Brothers Pouilly-Fuissé Climat "En Carementrant" is an expressive, mineral-sculpted Chardonnay from steep, south-facing slopes in Vergisson. Cultivated with biodynamic principles, it displays aromas of white peach, yellow orchard apple, citrus blossom, and crushed limestone. Medium-to-full-bodied and satin-textured, it delivers concentrated stone fruit balanced by electric limestone acidity, concluding on a long, salivating, and distinctly saline finish.

Critical Recognition

James Suckling 94 pts
  • 94 Points - James Suckling: Exotic aromas of dried lemons, ripe apricots and a hint of salted butter. Intense and pure, with a medium to full body and a zesty finish. Good density. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay harvested from the renowned single climat "En Carementrant," located on the steep, south/south-east facing amphitheater slopes of the village of Vergisson.
  • Planted directly beneath the dramatic limestone cliff of the Roche de Vergisson on Upper Jurassic limestone and marl soils that impart chiselled mineral tension.
  • Crafted by Jean-Guillaume and Jean-Philippe Bret (Bret Brothers / Domaine de la Soufrandière), leading biodynamic and low-intervention vignerons of the Mâconnais.
  • Whole-cluster pressed, fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, and aged for approximately 11 to 12 months in neutral oak barrels without new wood influence or fining.
  • From the vibrant, classically proportioned 2024 Burgundy harvest; demonstrates superb immediate clarity and focus with the depth to cellar through 2032+.

Tasting Notes

Bright, shimmering pale gold with vivid green highlights, it opens with pure aromas of ripe white peach, yellow orchard apple, and Meyer lemon, intertwined with hawthorn blossom, crushed chalk, and subtle raw almond. The palate is medium-to-full-bodied and textural, carrying concentrated stone fruit across an energetic spine of limestone acidity, concluding on a clean, lingering, and mouth-watering saline mineral finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve cellar-cool at 10–12°C in standard white Burgundy stemware.
  • Decanting: Decant for 15 to 25 minutes prior to serving to allow its mineral depth and delicate floral perfume to fully expand; pairs excellently with seared scallops, grilled wild fish, lobster tail, or aged Comté. Optimal drinking window now through 2032+.
