Pouilly-Fuissé En Chatenay Cuvée zen Bret Brothers 2022

Once more, the Bret Brothers have crafted a stunning cuvée, sourced from old vines rooted at the foot of the iconic Roche de Vergisson. The vines thrive on two contrasting parcels, one north-facing with limestone-rich soils, the other east-facing on sandstone, both producing grapes of impeccable balance. Hand-harvested, like all other grapes on the estate, pressed in whole bunches and fermented with native yeasts, the wine is left for 11 months in seasoned oak small barrels. This wine is sulphite-free until bottling, at which point just a mere 20 mg/L is added, hence the cuvée’s apt name: Zen. The result is a rich white, combining striking minerality with excellent tension.
