Located in Vinzelles, the Domaine La Soufrandière was bought by Jules Bret in 1947. The vineyard covers 4.55 hectares in the Pouilly-Vinzelles appellation with Les Quarts and Les Longeays climats, to which 1.6 hectares of the Clos du Grand-Père in Mâcon-Vinzelles was added in 2005. The domaine, certified in organic farming and biodynamics, is now managed by the Bret brothers: Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume. They have also been trading since 2001 under the name of the Bret Brothers.

This Mâcon-Vinzelles is named after the owner’s grandfather. The sixty-year-old vines lie at the bottom of the Pouilly-Vinzelles slope and the soils are made up of clay and limestone. After manual harvests, whole bunches are pressed, vinified and matured in stainless-steel vats and 228-litre casks for almost one year. The nose is exuberant and offers up a wide range of aromas, particularly floral and yellow fruit notes. On the palate, it is direct and vibrant thanks to a pronounced minerality.
