Mâcon-Vinzelles Le Clos de Grand-Père La Soufrandière - Bret Brothers 2011
The wine
This Mâcon-Vinzelles is named after the owner’s grandfather. The sixty-year-old vines lie at the bottom of the Pouilly-Vinzelles slope and the soils are made up of clay and limestone. After manual harvests, whole bunches are pressed, vinified and matured in stainless-steel vats and 228-litre casks for almost one year. The nose is exuberant and offers up a wide range of aromas, particularly floral and yellow fruit notes. On the palate, it is direct and vibrant thanks to a pronounced minerality.
About the Producer Domaine de la Soufrandière
Located in Vinzelles, the Domaine La Soufrandière was bought by Jules Bret in 1947. The vineyard covers 4.55 hectares in the Pouilly-Vinzelles appellation with Les Quarts and Les Longeays climats, to which 1.6 hectares of the Clos du Grand-Père in Mâcon-Vinzelles was added in 2005. The domaine, certified in organic farming and biodynamics, is now managed by the Bret brothers: Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume. They have also been trading since 2001 under the name of the Bret Brothers.
