Bret Brothers La Soufrandière Mâcon-Vinzelles

Mâcon, France
From the La Soufrandière lieu-dit in Vinzelles — biodynamically farmed Chardonnay on Jurassic limestone producing a wine of remarkable purity and Burgundian character. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in old Burgundy barrels, aged on lees without fining or filtration. Lemon zest, white peach, hazelnut, chalk, and a mineral limestone tension that defines the Mâconnais at its finest. A genuine alternative to Côte de Beaune at a fraction of the price.
complement
The wine's hazelnut and limestone mineral notes are naturally aligned with aged Comté. Walnut bread echoes its nutty complexity while quince mirrors its stone fruit brightness.

complement
Burgundian Chardonnay with beurre blanc — a classical pairing. The wine's hazelnut and butter notes mirror the sauce while its mineral acidity lifts the halibut.

complement
The classic Lyon-Mâcon pairing — pike dumplings in crayfish sauce with a crisp Mâcon white. The wine's acidity cuts through the rich bisque while its limestone mineral complements the freshwater fish.

complement
The wine's hazelnut and earthy secondary notes bridge to girolle mushrooms. Garlic adds aromatic depth while sourdough provides texture that absorbs the wine's richness.
