Wine Information

The Bret brothers cultivate a plot of just 0.69 hectares in the Climat En Chatenay in Puilly-Fuissé. It lies at an altitude of 250 meters and faces northeast. The Bret brothers share the site with the Comtes Lafon. Located below the Roche de Vergisson, the plot is characterized by reddish-brown clay on limestone. The vines are 55 years old. The harvest took place on September 25, 2021, by hand. This was followed by whole-bunch pressing and spontaneous fermentation. The Chardonnay was then aged for 17 months, first in used barrels and, after blending, in neutral cuvées. 100% malolactic fermentation took place. The wine was only lightly sulfurized before bottling. The total sulphur content is 27 mg/l. The wine has a pH of 3.16.

Colour

Light golden yellow

Nose

The Pouilly-Fuissé En Chatenay Cuvée Zen beautifully captures the vintage’s typical clarity, freshness, and citrus notes. It’s a Chardonnay that moves between salt lemons, green pears, mussel shells, and a hint of broom. Added to this are a slightly waxy note and some dry leaves, along with a few freshly shelled hazelnuts and almonds.

Palate

On the palate, the Chardonnay is highly mouthwatering, with a blend of lemons, limes, and salt, chalky and iodine notes, green herbs, and a hint of lemongrass. With power and crystal-clear, bright aromas, the wine fills the mouth, presses itself onto the palate, appears vibrantly mineral and remains incredibly juicy right up until the long finish.
