Alongside their estate holdings, the Bret Brothers project allows them to work with trusted growers across southern Burgundy, applying the same organic and biodynamic principles and meticulous vineyard selection. Their approach centres on low intervention winemaking, native fermentations and careful élevage, with a focus on expressing site with clarity, energy and precision rather than weight or overt oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"670\" data-end=\"1600\"\u003eEn Carementrant sits on the limestone and marl slopes of Vergisson, where steep gradients, shallow soils and high stone content naturally limit vigour and concentrate expression into a more linear, structured style of Chardonnay. The site is known for producing wines with a strong mineral backbone, marked tension and a precise, almost chiselled fruit profile rather than broad Mâconnais richness. In the Cuvée Zen interpretation, the Brets aim to preserve this natural precision with minimal intervention, allowing fermentation to proceed slowly in barrel and favouring a restrained élevage that respects the site’s inherent energy. The wine shows citrus oil, green apple and white peach, with white floral lift, crushed stone and a distinctly saline, limestone driven edge. The palate is taut and focused, driven by acidity and mineral grip, finishing long and precise with a clear sense of altitude and rock derived tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1602\" data-end=\"1647\"\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong data-start=\"1609\" data-end=\"1645\"\u003eFrance, Burgundy, Pouilly Fuissé\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1649\" data-end=\"1672\"\u003eGrapes \u003cstrong data-start=\"1656\" data-end=\"1670\"\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1674\" data-end=\"1692\"\u003eVintage \u003cstrong data-start=\"1682\" data-end=\"1690\"\u003e2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1694\" data-end=\"1713\"\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong data-start=\"1702\" data-end=\"1711\"\u003e13.0%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1715\" data-end=\"1749\"\u003eStyle \u003cstrong data-start=\"1721\" data-end=\"1747\"\u003eTaut, mineral, precise\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1751\" data-end=\"1773\"\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong data-start=\"1763\" data-end=\"1771\"\u003e75cl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1775\" data-end=\"2083\"\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong data-start=\"1786\" data-end=\"2081\"\u003eGentle pressing of whole clusters, spontaneous fermentation in barrel over several weeks, followed by 12 months élevage on fine lees in a mix of neutral and seasoned oak barrels with limited bâtonnage, bottled with minimal sulphur to preserve purity, tension and site expression\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2085\" data-end=\"2132\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eNotes \u003cstrong data-start=\"2091\" data-end=\"2132\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003eLow SO2, Natural, Organic, Biodynamic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bret Brothers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55514757595512,"sku":"POUILLYCEC-22-BRE-WHI","price":57.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/Pouilly_En_Carementrant_Bret.png?v=1776429392","url":"https:\/\/sipwines.shop\/products\/pouilly-fuisse-climat-en-carementrant-cuvee-zen-bret-brothers-2022","provider":"SipWines Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
