Sold Out
Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume Bret produce some of the finest wines in the Mâconnais. Their grandfather purchased vines in Vinzelles in 1947, but in 2000 the brothers re-claimed the vineyards, which had until then been part of the local co-operative.
Today the property, in the heart of Pouilly-Vinzelles, amounts to 12 hectares, meticulously farmed organically and biodynamically. The vines are all over 33 years in age, with some significantly older.
Yields are generally low (limited to circa 40hl/ha), with painstaking selection of fruit key to quality. In the winery, the brothers intervene as little as possible – using native yeast, minimal sulphur dioxide (with some zero-sulphur bottlings labelled as “Cuvée Zen”) and no new oak whatsoever. They believe that exposing the free-run juice to just the right amount of oxygen allows the wines to become more resilient in the long-term (and therefore less reliant on SO2 for protection).
From vines in Saint-Véran, Fuissé and Vinzelles, amongst other top locations. Hand-picked grapes, whole berries pressing, 100% vinified and aged in oak barrel (of 228 liters each) for 11 months.
Clean, pure and racy; a crazily good for a humble Mâcon.

New & Exciting
There are very few wine shops as good as Butlers, years of buying wines from them. There is always something new & exciting to pick out off the shelves and if you’re in any doubt the advice is considered and insightful.

Brilliant Butlers!
Words can't express the brilliance of Butlers or the thoughtfulness, expertise and compassion of their team! Whilst packing up to move internationally a friend died and I needed to organise an emergency case of something luscious to support the wake. Not only did their wonderful team organise and deliver within an incredibly tight deadline they drafted a message for me too which I approved. Wonderful!!

Delightful, delicious, delectable
As a lockdown convert, I'm an online customer, but the clear website, with interesting blogs and some comprehensive descriptions, really helps to steer you. Great advice when needed and great service too.

Sourcing Stock
Henry and Team managed to locate some difficult to find American wine which they kindly offered and I gratefully accepted. They truly differentiate by being able to surprise by sourcing stock very much outside the run of the mill.

Great Wine/Spirit shop with knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff
This was my second visit to Butlers Wine Cellar and on both occasions the service has been wonderful. The young lady assisted me and my wife on a number of purchases of wine and sherry and seemed very knowledgeable and made us feel welcome. Having tasted them she was spot on with her comments on each bottle. I would highly recommend anyone to use this shop.
