La Soufrandière, "La Combe Desroches", Saint Veran, France

Located at the foot of the Roche de Vergisson, on the north-facing hillside of a stunning valley, its soils of marl and clay are ideal for Chardonnay. The grapes achieve lovely ripeness despite this cooler terroir. A terroir for the future.

On lees at 80% in stainless steel vats and 20% in 228l barrels for 11 months
