Bruno started his work in wine by working with Jean-Pierre Frick, one of the pioneers of biodynamic farming in Alsace. After working for the Fricks for thirteen years, he was offered a winemaking position at Domaine de la Pinte in Jura in 2008. In 2014, Bruno met Virgine Joly, daughter of the famed Nicholas Joly of La Coulée de Serrant, and decided to move back to the Anjou to be closer to her. He joined Mark Angeli as a partner at Ferme de la Sansonnière in 2016, and have since been the partner winemaker there. 

Bruno always wanted to champion and showcase local wines that play an important part of the region’s identity that have not been produced due to the lack of interest amongst local winemakers. Enter Beret et Compagnie, a negociant label that was created by Bruno, assisting small producers in Loire Valley who are working in a natural way but doesn't have enough money and power to bottle and sell their products. He only selects to work with grapes from organic and biodynamic vineyards, and also supporting farmers with the conversion of conventional farming to sustainable farming. 

*We are excited to be offered his Ze Bulle Zéro Pointé – a sparkling rosé made from a unique technique developed by the retired Philippe Gourdon. The wine is made by the reintroduction of captured carbon gas given off as a by-product of fermentation that is captured by attaching an expandable balloon to the fermentation tank, making it one of the most unique methods of creating carbonation.
