Pouilly-Loché La Collonge Bret Brothers 2016

The Chardonnay vines, averaging 35 years, stand at an altitude of around 200 metres on a gentle incline. The clay-limestone soils, combined with an ideal eastern exposure, provide a balanced, serene environment for the vines. The grapes are hand-picked at peak ripeness to preserve the fruit and the soil. The long winemaking process includes a fermentation stage triggered spontaneously by native yeasts naturally present in the berries. The cuvée is then aged for 11 months in casks before being bottled without fining.
The pale gold colour reveals an expressive bouquet, with notes of citrus fruit harmoniously mingling with subtle vegetal notes. The intense and floral palate offers a beautiful balance of freshness and fat culminating in a deliciously persistent finish. This cuvée offers several beautiful years of ageing potential.
