La Soufrandière, Saint-Véran, Climat "La Bonnode", Burgundy, France

Brothers, Jean Philippe and Jean Guillaume Bret removed their family vineyard in the Macon from the local co-op in 2000, in order to establish Domaine de la Soufrandière. They have since converted to organic and biodynamic farming across their sights and are now making some of the most exciting wines in the Mâconnais.

'La Bonnode' is a 2 hectare plot in Saint-Vèran on a gentle slope overlooking the Sâone valley often with views as far as Mont Blanc to the east. 

The Bret Brothers 'cuvee zen' is aged for 17 months between old oak barrels and vats. They're unfined, unfiltered and made with out sulphur until just a small addition at bottling. The wine is energetic and complex with a waxy, floral nose and apricots and citrus on the palate.
