"This charming Pouilly-Vinzelles showcases the full maturity of Chardonnay from the southern Maconnais region!"

Made from a selection of the youngest vines in the “Les Quarts” vineyard (33 to 50 years old), this Pouilly-Vinzelles reveals its charm in the glass... Full-bodied, with finesse and notes of white flowers, it offers magnificent aging potential. Now produced as the “Cuvée Zen,” this delicious wine is only very lightly sulfited at bottling, offering a tasting experience that stays true to the terroir: all the purity of Pouilly-Vinzelles right on your palate!

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

The Bret brothers, who are never short on ideas or ingenuity, have become a benchmark in the Mâconnais region thanks to their keen mastery of biodynamics. Most vineyard work is done by hand, with the exception of plowing and treatments (which are done by tractor or horse), and their vineyards have become a testing ground for INRA researchers. La Soufrandière is the family’s 11-hectare estate, now Demeter-certified. Bret Brothers is the wine-trading arm, sourcing grapes to produce 15 micro-cuvées (ten of which are certified organic). The wines are consistently remarkable in their vitality, great purity, and unparalleled drinkability. One of the region’s standout estates—a name you can trust.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the estate:

Domaine La Soufrandière is the family estate of the dynamic brothers Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume Bret (for reviews of their wine merchant venture, see Bret Brothers), where they produce beautifully silky, pure, flavorful, and expressive wines. Grown organically and harvested by hand, the grapes are pressed whole-cluster before fermentation in barrels, and the wines often complete their aging on lees in stainless-steel tanks to preserve their structure.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

Acquired by Jules Bret in 1947, the La Soufrandière estate marked the beginning of the Bret brothers’—Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume—career in Vinzelles, starting with the 2000 vintage. From that point on, the decision to adopt biodynamic farming was a natural choice. They received Demeter certification in 2006 and have continued to experiment both in the vineyard and in the cellar to bring out the best in their terroirs with meticulous care. Wines with little or no sulfur are marked with the word “Zen” on the label. Alongside the estate, a bespoke wine merchant business was established in 2001—Bret Brothers—which is, of course, featured in our guide.
