Bret Brothers Saint-Veran En Combe 2016 1.5 L

The brothers Jean-Guilliaume, and Jean-Philippe Bret run two businesses - negociant wines from single growers and single plots under their name, and the estate vineyards at Domaine La Soufrandiere at Vinzelles in the Macon. The domaine itself is small, with 6.15 ha over the Pouilly-Vinzelles (two sites) and Macon-Vinzelles appellations plus 0.75 ha in Beaujolais. From 1947 until 1999, the family had sold grapes to the local co-op, but in the 21st century, the brothers have taken advantage of their working experience at (among others) Comte Lafond, Ridge, and Newton to craft wines that punch way, way above their weight.
