standout emerging Vouvray producer

about Sébastien Brunet took over his father’s property in 2007, and has slowly added to it, always following eco-friendly practices. Entire range of Vouvray wines made, from dry to sweet to sparkling: five bubbles made, including three pétillant and one white and one pink pétillant-naturel.

“Le Naturel” (€17)

Pétillant-Naturel from thirty-year-old Chenin Blanc on clay and flint soils. 20% ageing in barriques before bottling and twelve months ageing. Dry style, with faint Chenin aromatics, perhaps lacking some complexity.
