Pouilly Vinzelles
Learn more about Pouilly Vinzelles
Pouilly-Vinzelles is a small appellation in the Mâconnais region of Burgundy, situated next to the famous Pouilly-Fuissé appellation, and the Pouilly-Loché area, which is often regarded as a sub-region of Pouilly-Vinzelles itself.
As with Pouilly-Loché, Pouilly-Vinzelles shares the name with the famous town of Pouilly, and as such the two appellations benefit from the association with the established name of Pouilly-Fuissé. Pouilly-Vinzelles concerns itself entirely with the production of white wine from Chardonnay, resulting in a very typical but high-quality Burgundian white, with notes of fruit and slight minerality, much like the whites of its immediate neighbours.

The Bret Brothers began picking in August, the grapes being sugar ripe yet still retaining some acidity. They had finished by 7th September. These days the grapes are crushed before pressing, a technique which has sadly died out at most domaines, but adds texture and enhances the stability of the wines. The three Pouilly-Vinzelles wines are part of the Brets’ own Domaine de la Soufrandière, farmed biodynamically since they returned to the property in 2000.
