ABOUT THIS WINE
The Bret Brothers Mâcon Chardonnay 2022 hails from the Mâconnais region of Burgundy, crafted by the Bret Brothers, the négociant arm of Domaine de la Soufrandière. This family-run estate, founded in 1947, is guided by brothers Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume Bret, who champion organic and biodynamic farming. The wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, sourced from old vines (20-45 years) grown in limestone-rich soils within the Mâcon-Chardonnay appellation. The producer's philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, allowing the unique terroir of each selected plot to shine through.
