The Bret Brothers micro-négociant was founded in 2001 by Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume Bret, who apply the same meticulous organic and biodynamic standards to purchased grapes as they do to their own estate, Domaine de la Soufrandière. The La Bottière cuvée is sourced from a tiny 0.5-hectare plot of old vines situated on pure granite and ancient alluvial soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 100% Gamay is crafted in a 'throwback' style reminiscent of classic, old-era Beaujolais.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e: It typically presents a bright, transparent garnet to ruby red colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma\u003c\/strong\u003e: The nose is highly aromatic and delicate, featuring scents of ripe red cherry, raspberries, and crushed violets, with subtle hints of pepper and meadow herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e: On the palate, the wine is juicy and fresh, showcasing dark fruit flavours of cherries and stewed plums alongside piquant notes of stone and licorice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody and Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: It is characterized by its round texture and fine-grained, supple tannins that provide a firm yet elegant structure.
