Biodynamic. La Combe Desroches is one of the vineyards Soufrandière purchased in 2016. The 1.5-hectare parcel was already managed biodynamically, and six years under the Bret regime have added even more precision to this linear expression of Saint-Véran. La Combe Desroches is located at the foot of the Roche de Vergisson on the north-facing hillside of a stunning valley. The soils are eroded limestone and clay. Jean-Philippe Bret notes that the grapes “achieve lovely ripeness despite this cooler terroir”. The vines always perform well in warm, dry vintages thanks to good water storage. This cuvée is raised predominantly in tank (two-thirds of the blend) to lock in the tension.
