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 with
exceptional 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:

"La Carbonnode is the result of a Carbonic maceration on La Bonnode. This is a truly unique cuvée, made with a whole cluster fermentation on our Chardonnay grapes. After a 9-day maceration in a closed tank, the grapes were pressed, and fermentation finished in barrel (228 liters). With a slightly orange tint, a zesty and expressive nose, it’s an enticing, outside-the-box kind of wine. An exercise in changing the world while sharing a bottle amongst friends ;-)"
