This one-hectare plot is situated in the heart of the village of Vinzelles on deep clay and limestone soils. Ninety percent was made in tank, preserving the fruity character, with 10% in barrel to fill out the middle. This is simply irresistible, with a perfumed nose alongside juicy, rounded and supple flesh on the mid-palate and a tangy, fresh finish
This is our Pouilly-Vinzelles La Soufrandière’s younger brother and comes from a plot belonging to our maternal Grand-Father. The vines – aged 50 on average- lay on the lower part of the Pouilly-Vinzelles slope. They form a very old « clos » on a rocky vein of hard limestone. The terroir is asserting itself. The 2007 is not as rich as the 2006 but is full of fruit and elegance. Merci Grand-Père! - winery
