Critical Recognition

James Suckling 91 pts
  • 91 Points - James Suckling: Such a floral and perfumed nose of blossoms, citrus and fresh apricots. Direct, with good weight and a round, supple finish. Pleasing and good. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink now.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay: Sourced from "Le Clos de Grand-Père," a specific Mâcon-Vinzelles parcel renowned for yielding a distinctly approachable and fruit-forward style of white Burgundy.
  • Terroir: Situated at the lower part of the east-facing slope with deep clay and limestone soils, imparting a pleasing roundness and weight to the wine. The vines were historically planted by the Bret brothers' grandfather.
  • Winemaking: Farmed entirely biodynamically (Demeter certified). The grapes are hand-harvested, gently whole-bunch pressed, and fermented spontaneously using only indigenous yeasts.
  • Elevage: Traditionally aged for approximately 11 months in a combination of older, neutral French oak barrels (pièces) and temperature-controlled tanks to preserve the vibrant floral aromatics and freshness.
  • Vintage Profile: The 2024 vintage showcases an intensely perfumed character, marked by upfront fresh orchard fruit and a direct, supple palate that is incredibly ready to drink upon release.

Tasting Notes

Pouring a brilliant pale gold, this Chardonnay opens with an exceptionally expressive and perfumed nose of spring blossoms, zesty citrus, and ripe fresh apricots. On the palate, it is wonderfully direct and generously textured, offering a pleasing roundness that elegantly carries the orchard fruit flavors. A vibrant, clean acidity keeps the wine's weight perfectly in check, leading to a supple, harmonious finish that is both inviting and refreshing.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve chilled at 50-54°F (10-12°C) in a standard white Burgundy glass to enhance the floral bouquet.
  • Decanting: No decanting is required. Enjoy immediately alongside roast chicken, soft mild cheeses, or a fresh summer salad. The drinking window is prime for current enjoyment.
