2022 Domaine La Soufrandiere Pouilly-Vinzelles Zen, Maconnais, France

The Pouilly-Vinzelles appellation contrle has only 50 ha under vines (123 acres) in comparison to neighbouring POUILLY-FUISSs 750 ha (1850 acres). Isnt it its singularity and richness? It goes without saying that this great white Burgundy wine is a full expression of a mature Chardonnay from Southern Mconnais. Our wine is a blend of our young vines (23 to 48 years old) in the Les Quarts , simply rechristened as a village AOC Pouilly-Vinzelles La Soufrandire. They are all facing south-east, in the middle part of the slope of clay and limestone. The soils are ploughed and vineyard work is carried out by hand to avoid tamping down the soil. The soil is really alive without any additives. The word Terroir really makes sense! The expression of fruit is seductive, full of charm.
