Tasting note
Character
A clear, lively Chardonnay from the Mâconnais that proves just how much grace this southern tip of Burgundy has to offer. At 12.0% vol., it remains slender and easy-drinking – a wine for everyday cooking as much as for long evenings at the table. Citrus fruit, pear and a fine, fresh acidity shape the picture, accompanied by a lean structure.
Terroir & Origin
The Mâconnais lies in the south of Burgundy and has always been regarded as the home of accessible, charming Chardonnay wines. Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume Bret know the region inside out: their family estate, Domaine La Soufrandière, is located in Pouilly-Vinzelles, and their cellar in Vinzelles. Through their négociant project Bret Brothers, founded in 2001, the brothers source grapes from growers who practise organic or biodynamic viticulture – a partnership with people who share their philosophy.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Chardonnay in its original Burgundian homeland: in the Bret brothers’ cellar, work follows tradition, with spontaneous fermentation by natural yeasts and minimal sulphur additions. The wines of the house are aged in concrete tanks or used oak casks – gently, so that fruit and freshness are preserved. This restrained hand allows the wines to appear unadorned.
Food Pairings
A versatile companion: with grilled sea fish dressed with lemon and herbs, with local goat’s cheese, with poultry in a light cream sauce or with a simple vegetable risotto. Served well chilled on its own, it also reveals its qualities – an honest Burgundy that convinces without any fuss.
