Bret Brothers Mâcon-Cruzille 2017

Bret Brothers Mâcon-Cruzille is a Chardonnay from Cruzille, one of the cooler northern villages of the Mâconnais.

Cruzille sits in the hills of the northern Mâconnais, above Lugny, on limestone and clay soils at higher altitude than the villages further south, which tends to give wines with firmer acidity and a leaner frame. Bret Brothers is the négociant label of Jean-Guillaume and Jean-Philippe Bret, who also run the family domaine La Soufrandière at Vinzelles, and it works only with growers whose farming and picking meet the same standards as the estate. Fruit is whole-bunch pressed, fermented with indigenous yeasts and raised on lees in a mix of barrel and tank before bottling.

Drink over the next five years, with grilled fish, chicken or a fresh goat's cheese. Serve at 10-12°C.
