La Soufrandière Pouilly-Vinzelles Les Longeays 2020

Les Longeays is a continuation of the Les Quarts hillside. La Soufrandière has 0.55 hectares of vines here and they were planted in 1971. While Les Quarts faces east, with a stunning panorama over the Saône, Les Longeays wraps around the contour of the Vinzelles hill as it turns east/southeast. It’s therefore a warmer site and can be harvested as much as a week before Les Quarts. Also, there is a soil change here: unlike Les Quarts, where the limestone lies close to the surface, Les Longeays has metres of deep red clay before the vines hit the mother rock.
