La Soufrandière Saint-Véran Climat La Bonnode 2022

La Soufrandière Saint-Véran Climat La Bonnode is a certified biodynamic Chardonnay from a two-hectare east-facing plot at Prissé.

Saint-Véran runs in two pockets either side of Pouilly-Fuissé in the southern Mâconnais, and Prissé is one of its stronger communes. La Bonnode is among the vineyards the Bret brothers recently acquired in partnership with Dominique Lafon. The forty-year-old vines face due east in a sheltered position just below a small forest at the foot of the Roche de Vergisson, and the plot is also home to 0.3 hectares of old-vine Aligoté. It was organically farmed by the previous owners and has since been certified biodynamic. Because the rows run down a slope the fruit ripens in stages and has to be picked in successive passes. A good portion goes to the Brets' two experimental cuvées, Ovoïde and Carbonnode. The wine ferments and spends its first year in barrel before moving to tank ahead of the following harvest.

Drinking well now and holding five to seven years. Serve at 10-12°C with grilled snapper, roast chicken or a goat's cheese salad.
