La Soufrandière

Cuvée “La Combe Desroches” – Organic wine

A visionary family estate in the heart of Mâconnais.

Founded by Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume Bret, the Soufranière embodies a new generation of winegrowers deeply attached to their land. Located in Vinzelles, in the south of Burgundy, this family estate, passed down since 1947, experienced a real renaissance from 2000 thanks to the will of the two brothers to combine tradition and modernity. Their approach is based on a demanding viticulture, respectful of the environment, and a minimalist winemaking allowing the terroirs to express themselves fully.

This 2020 vintage sports a pronounced straw-yellow color with coppery highlights. On the aromatic level, it oscillates between slightly citrus and herbaceous notes, as well as notes of roasted apple and cider. On top, there is a bit of honeysuckle, honey flowers, and lemon oil. On the palate, the chardonnay is juicy, clear, and fine. The open character of the Saint-Véran carried by notes of friable apple that mingle with a silky but lively acidity. This creamy wine offers a very good length.
