Bret Brothers
Bret Brothers is the négociant project of Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume Bret for Beaujolais. The Bret Brothers brand was founded in 2001 to source grapes from trusted winemakers outside the family's own vineyards and to vinify them according to the same high standards. The brothers work exclusively with partners who practise organic or biodynamic viticulture. This creates authentic Gamay wines from the renowned crus of Beaujolais such as Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent and Morgon – wines with character, freshness and remarkable drinkability.
More about Bret Brothers
The Vision of the Bret Brothers
When Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume Bret took over Domaine La Soufrandière in 2000, they quickly recognised the potential of the surrounding wine regions. In 2001, they founded Bret Brothers as a négociant project to also vinify wines from neighbouring Beaujolais. Their mission: authentic, artisanally produced wines from winemakers who share their passion for organic and biodynamic viticulture.
Partner Winemakers and Origins
The Bret brothers work with a network of winemakers in the finest crus of Beaujolais. The grapes come from organic or biodynamic cultivation and are hand-harvested. Particularly prized are the Gamay grapes from Fleurie, renowned for their elegant, floral wines, from Moulin-à-Vent, the most powerful and longest-lived cru, and from Morgon with its characterful, fruit-driven wines.
Vinification in Their Own Cellar
After harvest, the grapes are brought to the cellar of Domaine La Soufrandière in Vinzelles. There they are vinified using traditional methods: whole-bunch fermentation (macération carbonique), spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts and minimal sulphiting. The wines are aged in concrete tanks or used oak barrels. This careful cellar work preserves the fruit and freshness of the Gamay and produces wines of great vibrancy.
The Wines
The Bret Brothers Beaujolais wines are characterised by their purity and drinkability. Whether the fruity Fleurie with its notes of violets and red berries, the structured Moulin-à-Vent with hints of spices and dark fruits or the juicy Morgon – all wines share the brothers' signature: authenticity, freshness and respect for terroir.
In addition to their Beaujolais wines, they run their family winery La Soufrandière in Pouilly-Vinzelles and the négociant project Bret Brothers Mâconnais for Chardonnay wines from the Mâconnais.
