The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A rising star in the heart of Provence, Mas de Bret is stepping into the spotlight alongside the region’s most iconic estates. Inspired by Eloi Dürrbach, the legendary winemaker behind Trévallon, this estate crafts unforgettable cuvées built to the highest standards of quality.

With organic farming, massal selections from renowned nurseryman Lilian Bérillon, horse-plowed soils, indigenous yeast fermentations, whole-cluster vinifications, and aging in Stockinger foudres, every step here is a pursuit of excellence.

Since 2013, owner Jean-Luc Placet has been shaping ultra-exclusive, artisanal wines that are now highly sought after by the most discerning wine enthusiasts.
Wine It’s a "baby Trévallon"! The 2021 Red IGP Alpilles bears a striking resemblance to its famous neighbor, crafted from the same blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cinsault. The pure nose offers hints of graphite and a touch of Syrah's signature smokiness. The fleshy, fresh palate reveals a moderate tannic structure, dominated by black fruit flavors with that smoky note lingering through the finish. The aging is particularly well-executed. This is a fantastic bottle we’ve been eager to share! Limited quantities available for our very best clients. Rated 94/100 by our Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested. Whole-harvest vinification using indigenous yeasts. Aged 12 months in 25 hectoliter tuns, then 12 months in bottle before release. Bottled without fining or filtration.

Certified organic wine.
