Dom. de la Soufrandiere, Bret Bros,
Ready, but will keep,
If a Premier Cru programme is established in the region, Les Quarts must surely be a prime candidate for its status. Dense and backward yet with a sense of great class, this has greengage, yellow plum fruit and fine balance. It is a brilliant wine to fall in love with, with no sense of oak anywhere. Long and powerful but balanced, this has a wonderful finish.
Jasper Morris MW, Berrys' Burgundy Director The new underground cellar extension was completed in time for the 2011 vintage, to the relief of brothers Jean-Philippe, Jean-Guillaume and Marc-Antoine Bret who appreciated the space to work. The 2011 vintage combines both quality and quantity: the Brets describe it as “early, ripe and balanced”. The wines from their own property, Domaine de la Soufrandière, are certified biodynamic. Everything is fermented and matured in barrel but with no new wood.

Domaine de la Soufrandière is the wine estate of the Bret Brothers, Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume, whose grandfather bought the domaine in 1947.
In 2000 the new generation took the vineyards back from the local co-operative and started producing their own Pouilly Vinzelles wine, mostly from the superb single vineyard of Les Quarts. In 2006 a Macon Vinzelles was added to the range, known as Clos de Grand-Père as it came from their other grandfather, on their mother’s side. The wines have been certified as organic and biodynamic since 2006
