The Pouilly-Vinzelles appellation contrôlée has only 50 ha under vines (123 acres) in comparison to neighbouring Pouilly Fuissé’s 750 ha (1850 acres). 

It goes without saying that this great white Burgundy wine is a full expression of a mature Chardonnay from Southern Mâconnais. The wine is a blend of the young vines 23 to 48 years old in the Les Quarts, simply rechristened as a village AOC Pouilly-Vinzelles La Soufrandière.

They are all facing southeast, in the middle part of the slope of clay and limestone. The soils are plowed and vineyard work is carried out by hand to avoid tamping down the soil. The soil is really alive without any additives. 

Exhibiting aromas of pear, citrus oil and nutmeg, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy but vibrant palate with a charming core of fruit and racy balancing acids.
