Robert Parker

(2011 Vintage ratings)

A new vintage, the 2011 was rated: Robert Parker 92/100, RVF 15.5/20, Bettane & Desseauve 15.5/20 (Bonheur tout de suite), Gault Millau 15.5/20
Les Longeays is one of the appellation's three most interesting Climats: a south-east-facing plot in the middle of the hillside, but on deeper soils. This characteristic explains the almost systematic advance in ripeness every year, and the fact that this cuvée is more a fruity wine than a mineral one. An immediate pleasure!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated (2014 guide) 15.5/20 (2011 vintage) (Very good wine)

Domain rated (2022 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

The Bret brothers, never short of ideas or inventiveness, have become a benchmark in the Mâconnais thanks to their acute mastery of biodynamic viticulture. Most of the work in the vineyard is done by hand, apart from ploughing and spraying (with tractor or horse), and their vines have become a playground for INRA researchers. La Soufrandière is the family's 11-hectare estate, now certified Demeter. Bret Brothers is the trading activity, buying in grapes and producing 15 micro-cuvées (ten of which are certified organic). The wines are always remarkably energetic, pure and easily digestible. One of the region's model addresses, with complete confidence.

Rated (2013 guide) 92/100 (2011 vintage) (Wonderful wine)

Domain rated (guide 2022) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About the domain :

Domain La Soufrandière is the family estate of dynamic brothers Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume Bret (for reviews of their négociant project, see Bret Brothers), where they produce beautifully satiny, pure, flavorful and expressive wines. Organically farmed and hand-harvested, the grapes are whole-cluster pressed before barrel fermentation, with the wines frequently finishing their maturation on lees in stainless steel tanks to preserve tension.

Rated (2014 guide) 15.5/20 (Vintage 2011) (Good wine)

Domaine rated (2023 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the domain :

Acquired by Jules Bret in 1947, the La Soufrandière estate in Vinzelles was started by the Bret brothers, Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume, with the 2000 vintage. From then on, biodynamic viticulture was the obvious choice. Certified Demeter in 2006, they continue to experiment both in the vineyard and in the cellar, sublimating their terroirs with infinite care. Cuvées with little or no sulfur are marked Zen on the label. In addition to this estate, Bret Brothers, a high-fashion wine merchant, was created in 2001, and is also featured in our guide.
