Brett touch (ah, Bret Brothers), lemon curd, biscuit. Very good structure, refreshing with some minor strain. Flavours of lemon and pear. Long aftertaste. Overall, I love this wine and happy to drink it once in a while.

Pear, candy, Gorgonzola, white flowers. Refreshing, even crackling acidity. Round and long aftertaste. I love it.

Bret Brothers

Côte d'Or often comes to mind when you talk about Burgundy. But let's not forget that besides this golden mine, Burgundy has other wonderful regions to offer, including Chablis and Mâconnais. The latter is the home of Jean-Paul and Jean-Guillaume Bret. These brothers set up the project in 2001, intending to produce terroir wines from selected plots. Their formula is dead simple. Every wine is made of grapes from a single plot of 40+ years old vines from a single farmer. Yup, unlike their other project, La Soufrandière, they buy grapes for Bret Brothers wines.

Today they produce around 50,000 bottles in 14 different cuvées, around 8 ha. It includes grapes sourced from Beaujolais (Brouilly, Lantignié, Chénas and Juliénas). This expansion happened in 2013.
