Notes from La Soufrandiere:

"La Soufrandière is our family’s estate, purchased in 1947 by our paternal grandparents. In 2000, we officially took over La Soufrandière and its 4.5 hectares of Pouilly Vinzelles
planted on the best, east/southeast-facing clay-limestone slope in the village. Then, in
2004, our maternal grandfather entrusted us with the one-hectare Clos in Mâcon-Vinzelles. Since 2016, we were lucky enough to acquire 5 hectares of organically farmed vines: 3.5 hectares in Saint-Véran, 1.2 hectares in Pouilly Fuissé, and 0.5 hectares of Bourgogne Aligoté. 

We decided to work Organically and Biodynamically from the start. As we see it, an agriculture respecting the Living environment is the only way to produce wines withexceptional balance, that vibrate with energy and reveal their terroir. Maintaining balance between the Soil and Vine allows us to produce small berries that are balanced and rich in phenolics and organic acids that are essential to optimal grape ripening."

About the cuvee:

"Another version of our Saint-Véran La Bonnode. The juice ferments naturally in a cement ovoid tank (19hl) for one year, with no added sulfur. In August, the wine is racked to stainless steel tank for a final ageing period on fine lees. Bottled with no filtration. A pure, magnificent, ethereal wine. One rediscovers Chardonnay in a new light.

35 year old vines are located at the foot of the Roche de Vergisson in a sheltered spot just below a small forest, 20 % slope, facing east."
