Intense straw yellow with brilliant clarity in the glass - a Chardonnay that already promises substance and maturity visually.<\/p>\n
This Pouilly-Vinzelles is initially reserved, almost introverted. With a little patience, a precise interplay of flavours unfolds: Citrus fruits<\/strong>crisp Pear<\/strong> and Apple<\/strong>, and nuances of yellow plum<\/strong> and more exotic Carambola<\/strong>. A creamy, almost patisserie-like component lends warmth and depth to the bouquet, while chalky minerality<\/strong> and delicate white flowers<\/strong> provide Burgundian elegance. A wine that needs time to open up - typical of this precise vinification.<\/p>\n The true class of this Chardonnay is revealed on the palate: silky<\/strong>, Juicy<\/strong> and impressively rounded. The fruit appears ripe and concentrated - Citrus fruits<\/strong>, Pome fruit<\/strong> and white peach<\/strong> merge into a harmonious whole. The acidity is striking, but never aggressive; it carries the wine through the palate with silky precision. Particularly noteworthy: a fine Tanning agent<\/strong>, which gives the wine structure and length - a sign of whole-cluster pressing and moderate use of wood. The finish is long, mineral and characterised by elegant tension.<\/p>\n La Soufrandi\u00e8re cultivates two hectares at an altitude of 230 metres in the Pouilly-Vinzelles appellation. The 40 to 55-year-old Chardonnay vines are rooted in Clay-lime floors<\/strong> from the Bajocium. Hand-picked at the end of August 2022, spontaneous fermentation and ageing of 80 % in tanks, 20 % in wooden barrels. With only 36 mg\/l Total sulphur<\/strong> a prime example of natural, precise viticulture. The magnum bottle promises optimum ageing potential.<\/p>\n This versatile Chardonnay harmonises perfectly with Butter chicken with fenugreek<\/strong>, Scallops au gratin with carambola mignonette<\/strong> or Taboul\u00e9 of cauliflower with apples, nuts and coriander<\/strong>. The combination of fruit, acidity and texture makes it the ideal companion for creamy sauces and subtle spices.<\/p>\n The magnum bottling is not only a statement, but also an investment in the future: this wine will grow in complexity over the next 5-8 years. An authentic, terroir-influenced Chardonnay from the M\u00e2connais that combines Burgundian elegance with modern, minimally interventionist viticulture.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Palate<\/h3>\n
