Bret Brothers Mâcon-Villages Terroirs du Mâconnais 2022

Organic. This terrific-value wine is a blend from several of the Bret brothers’ parcels based in Mâcon-Villages, Saint-Véran and Pouilly-Fuissé, as well as the last 50 litres of each of La Soufrandière’s premium biodynamic wines below. All up, the vines average 50 years of age. It aged half in tank and half in older barrels for 11 months before bottling. It may only be the starting wine but sets quite the marker. With the emphasis on the vintage’s juicy, golden citrus fruit, with some crystalline pear richness, it’s a classy, nuanced, complex wine with terrific texture, citrusy drive and mouth-watering stone fruits bobbing and weaving throughout the creamy texture. Every inch the bargain.
