The Bret brothers inherited the Domaine La Soufrandière, the family estate in Vinzelles, in 2000 and have been making exceptional wines ever since. They acquired additional vineyards in the nearby appellation of Saint-Véran in 2016 and stated making this engaging wine. The La Combe Desroches, a blend from several vineyards, has the combination of finesse and depth rarely seen in a wine from Saint-Véran. The bracing acidity of the ’24 vintage keeps it lively and prolongs the appeal of this mid-weight treasure. It would be a fine addition to a hearty seafood dish.
