The expression of fruit is seductive, full of charm.

In order to show the existing terroir at its best, they have been working according to the specifications of Biological Agriculture since 2000 and they have started moving towards getting Organic Agriculture certification since the 2003 vintage (ECOCERT certification). They also have been applying biodynamic preparations since 2001.

The Pouilly-Vinzelles appellation contrôlée has only 50 ha under vines (123 acres). It goes without saying that this great white Burgundy wine is a full expression of a mature Chardonnay from Southern Mâconnais. This wine is a blend of  « young vines » (23 to 48 years old) in the « Les Quarts », simply rechristened as a village AOC Pouilly-Vinzelles La Soufrandière. They are all facing south-east, in the middle part of the slope of clay and limestone. The soils are ploughed and vineyard work is carried out by hand to avoid tamping down the soil. The soil is really alive without any additives.
