Domaine de la Soufrandière

Domaine de la Soufrandière, a former estate in Vinzelles in the southern Mâconnais region, was acquired in 1947 by A.J. Bret. At the time, Domaine de la Soufrandière had only one hectare of vines, planted with AOC Pouilly-Vinzelles Climat "Les Quarts". A.J. Bret undertook the expansion of the vineyard, which was continued by Jean-Paul Bret, the third of A.J. and Louise Bret's four children.

Since 2000, Domaine de la Soufrandière has been run four-handed by Jean-Guillaume and Jean-Philippe Bret, a talented duo who favor a culture as close to nature as possible. Both at La Soufrandière, where the vineyard is certified organic by ECOCERT, and in their trading business (Bret Brothers), they work in partnership with passionate winemakers who are in tune with their terroir. The exceptional exposure of the oldest Chardonnay vines on the south-east-facing slope, and the living clay-limestone soil rich in siliceous crystals, give rise to Domaine de la Soufrandière's unique "Les Quarts" climat cuvée.
