Description
Ever since they took over Domaine La Soufrandière in 2000, ever since they created their small scale “haute couture” merchant business called BRET BROTHERS in 2001 (high quality white wines from the Mâconnais region of Burgundy), this is what has been their credo and a source of vibration and passion : the diversity and richness of the terroirs of Burgundy (locally called ” Climats”) and primarily those in the Mâconnais, around one grape variety, Chardonnay.
Tasting notes
This iconic wine was the start of the adventure for the Bret Brothers – their paternal grandfather purchased four hectares in Les Quarts just after the Second World War. The brothers have brought the land back to his time, organically and biodynamically farming the plot with a horse. The results are spectacular. The thin, rocky soils have delivered a wine with rich, exotic tropical fruit aromas with hints of coconut and beeswax. The texture is lively with bright acidity yet there is the weight and breadth here to suggest it can age for a decade or more—delicious wine.[93 Points, Charles Curtis – November 2022, decanter.com]
