Sourced from the Bret Brothers' crown jewel vineyard, "Les Quarts," this biodynamic Pouilly-Vinzelles offers a masterful balance of richness and tension. Expect a deeply concentrated core of Meyer lemon, white peach, and toasted almond, electrified by a spine of crushed limestone. Aging gracefully in the larger format, it is a profoundly textured, world-class Burgundy.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay: The flagship cuvée of La Soufrandière, sourced from the finest, most historically significant terroir in the Pouilly-Vinzelles appellation.
  • The Magnum Format: Bottled in a 1.5-liter magnum, which provides the ultimate environment for slow, graceful aging. The lower oxygen-to-wine ratio ensures the wine retains its striking freshness and tension for decades.
  • Terroir: Cultivated from venerable old vines—many planted between 1917 and 1945—deeply rooted in iron-rich clay resting on a solid bedrock of Bajocian limestone.
  • Winemaking: Farmed rigorously to biodynamic principles (Demeter certified) by the Bret Brothers. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for 11 to 18 months in older French oak to preserve the site's crystalline purity.
  • Vintage Profile: The 2020 vintage in Burgundy is celebrated for its excellent concentration and beautifully ripe orchard fruit, perfectly counterbalanced by a thrilling, racy acidity.

Tasting Notes

Pouring a brilliant, shimmering pale gold, this old-vine Chardonnay opens with a profound and deeply layered bouquet. Aromas of ripe white peach, Meyer lemon oil, and crisp Anjou pear are interwoven with elegant notes of acacia blossom, toasted almond, and a distinct, chalky earthiness. On the palate, it exhibits serious density and dry extract, filling the mouth with a richly textured, concentrated core of fruit. Yet, it remains remarkably weightless, driven by a pulsating spine of limestone minerality and vibrant acidity that stretches the wine into a long, saline, and deeply resonant finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at 50-54°F (10-12°C) in a large Burgundy bowl to allow its concentrated aromatics to expand fully.
  • Decanting: A 45 to 60-minute decant is highly recommended to let this tightly coiled, large-format wine breathe. An exceptional centerpiece for a dinner party, pairing magnificently with butter-poached lobster, roast Bresse chicken, or a rich mushroom risotto. Built for long-term cellaring.
