A family estate with passion intact, the Bret family brings a breath of modernity and sincerity into the Mâconnais vineyards.

Managed with heart and panache by brothers Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume, the Bret Brothers and La Soufrandière estates have become benchmarks in the Mâconnais region. La Soufrandière comprises the family’s traditional vineyards, which are nurtured like a garden to produce precise, pure wines. Domaine Bret Brothers, meanwhile, is a quality micro-negociant (100% of selected grapes are organic or in conversion) aiming to best represent the diversity of the region. The Bret Brothers are highly sensitive to the “living” world, and their aim is to work with the vines at their own pace, delivering unique, sincere wines. Servants of their beloved Mâconnais terroir, the brothers produce pure, racy wines.
