Wine Information

The Bret brothers cultivate a plot of just two hectares in the “La Bonnode” climate in Saint-Véran. It lies at an altitude of 250 meters and faces east. Situated below the Roche de Vergisson, it is characterized by clay on limestone. The vines are 35 years old. The harvest took place by hand on September 22 and 23, 2021. This was followed by whole-bunch pressing and spontaneous fermentation. The Chardonnay was then aged for 17 months, first in a concrete egg and, after blending, in neutral cuvées. The wine was only lightly sulfurized before bottling. The total sulphur content is 29 mg/l. The wine has a pH of 3.21.

Colour

Medium straw yellow

Nose

The 2021 La Bonnode Ovoïde is the third variation from the La Bonnode vineyard this year. The Chardonnay from the concrete egg once again impressively demonstrates that it makes sense and is quite fun to taste the three wines side by side. On the nose, it appears somewhat greener, with slightly more lime than lemon and also green apple alongside the yellow aspect of culinary herbs and greengage. There is also a chalky component.

Palate

On the palate, the Ovoïde is crystal clear, precise, and balanced. The concrete egg has given the wine a different texture, perhaps reminiscent of a Japanese water whetstone. The Chardonnay presents itself as a light yellow with green aspects, plenty of citrus fruit, but also some stone fruit. The acidity builds up more and more pressure towards the finish and meets the mouthwatering saltiness so typical of Brets’ wines.
