Mâcon-Vinzelles Le Clos de grand-père

La Soufrandière / Bret Brothers
Crafted by the Bret Brothers in the heart of the Mâconnais, this biodynamic Chardonnay comes from a small walled parcel once tended by their grandfather. The clay-limestone soils bring depth and a lovely saline edge, while hand-harvested grapes and native yeast fermentation keep everything honest and expressive. Ageing on fine lees adds a gentle creaminess without masking the fruit. Expect white peach, citrus zest and a hint of hazelnut, carried by a bright, chalky finish. It's the kind of white that feels generous yet precise – perfect with roast chicken, grilled fish or simply a good cheese board. A real Burgundy charmer.
