In 2007, Sébastien Brunet took over the 3 hectare family domain in Vouvray and extended it to its current size of 15 hectares spread between Vernou and Chançay. Tending the vines is his top priority and he places great importance on respecting each vineyard parcel’s identity. The property is currently converting to organic viticulture (full certification expected in 2018) and operates without the use of machinery or chemical products. The wines are extremely precise and whether they are dry, sweet, dessert, or sparkling, they express the potential of the Chenin grape to perfection. Even better, their prices have remained very reasonable.

The Chenin used to produce this sparkling wine was harvested by hand and vinified using the ancestral method. There is a lovely freshness and aromas of citrus fruits on the nose. Upon tasting, the bubbles are extremely fine and the attack elegant. It offers buttery, brioche aromas on the palate, and its long finish makes it an exceptional pét-nat.
