La Soufrandière
Domaine La Soufrandière in Vinzelles is a jewel of southern Burgundy. The winery La Soufrandière was founded as early as 1947, when Jules Bret acquired one hectare in the legendary Clos de Grand-Père – that historic vineyard site which remains the heart of the family business to this day. In 2000, his grandsons Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume took over management and consistently converted to biodynamic viticulture. Since 2010, the youngest brother Marc-Antoine has also been working at the winery. With 12 hectares today in the prestigious vineyard sites of Pouilly-Vinzelles, Pouilly-Fuissé and Saint-Véran, the brothers create mineral, expressive white wines of remarkable depth and complexity.

More about La Soufrandière
History and Philosophy
The history of La Soufrandière begins in 1947, when Jules Bret acquired one hectare of vineyards in the Clos de Grand-Père. This walled vineyard site in Vinzelles became the foundation of a family tradition that is now being continued in the third generation. Following their father's early death, Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume Bret took over the management of the estate in 2000 and immediately began converting to organic viticulture.
Biodynamic Management
Since 2003, La Soufrandière has been certified organic by Ecocert, and since 2006 the estate has carried the Demeter seal for biodynamic viticulture. The brothers work according to the principles of Rudolf Steiner: preparations made from cow manure and quartz, the observation of cosmic rhythms, and the cultivation of the soil as a living organism. The vineyards are partially worked with horses to minimise soil compaction. This consistent philosophy is evident in the vibrancy and minerality of their wines.
Terroir and Vineyards
The estate's 12 hectares are distributed across some of the finest vineyard sites in the southern Mâconnais: the historic Clos de Grand-Père in Pouilly-Vinzelles, the parcels Les Quarts and Climat Les Longeays in Pouilly-Vinzelles, and vineyards in Saint-Véran. The limestone-rich soils with clay and marl inclusions give the Chardonnays their characteristic minerality and freshness. Some of the vines are over 80 years old.
Vinification and Style
In the cellar, the Bret brothers favour minimal intervention: spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts, ageing in used oak barrels of various sizes, and extended time on the lees for texture and complexity. The wines are bottled unfiltered and with minimal sulphur additions. The result is Chardonnays of great purity and expressiveness – wines that authentically reflect their terroir.
In addition to their own estate, Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume also run the négociant projects Bret Brothers for Gamay from Beaujolais and Bret Brothers Mâconnais for further appellations of the Mâconnais.
