Pouilly Vinzelles Les Quarts° La Soufrandière, 2016

Pouilly-Vinzelles Les Quarts from La Soufrandière is a finely crafted white Burgundy that shows just how expressive Chardonnay can be in the hands of a top producer. Sourced from one of the appellation’s most respected lieux-dits, it combines precision, minerality, and quiet power in a style that reflects the finesse of southern Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright golden hue with a clear, polished appearance. The nose is elegant and layered, with notes of citrus, white flowers, ripe orchard fruit, crushed stone, hazelnut, and a subtle creamy nuance from élevage. On the palate, it is poised and concentrated, balancing ripe fruit with fresh acidity and a saline mineral streak that gives the wine length and tension. The texture is smooth but not heavy, making it both immediate in charm and serious in structure. The 2016 vintage should have good ageing potential, developing greater complexity over time with honeyed, nutty, and more tertiary notes.

Production
Les Quarts is one of the most celebrated vineyard sites in Pouilly-Vinzelles, with limestone-rich soils that lend the wine its distinct mineral character and energy. La Soufrandière works with careful vineyard selection and thoughtful harvesting to preserve fruit purity and site expression, followed by a restrained vinification approach that emphasizes freshness, texture, and terroir rather than overt oak influence.

Food & Serving
This wine is a natural match for roasted poultry, shellfish, buttery fish dishes, creamy sauces, and refined vegetarian plates such as risotto or mushroom tart. Serve it well chilled but not too cold, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider brief decanting if the wine is showing tightly after opening.

Producer
La Soufrandière is the biodynamic family estate of the Bret Brothers, a respected name in Burgundy known for producing terroir-driven wines with precision and character. The domaine has earned a strong reputation for its thoughtful farming and transparent winemaking, particularly in the Mâconnais, where it has helped raise the profile of sites like Pouilly-Vinzelles Les Quarts.
