Details
Lip-smackingly fresh and oh-so complex, this is another beauty from Brunet and it has to be said, a wine of sensational value. Enjoy the minerality and purity of ripe citrus fruit and a hint of honeysuckle on show.
Born and raised in Vouvray, Sébastien Brunet knows the lay of the land around his vines as well as anyone, and since taking over his family domaine in 2006, he has taken things to a new level, and really become a figurehead for the new style of Vouvray - drier, cleaner and working with more natural methods. For four generations, Sébastien’s ancestors have been working this land, however, they didn't make the most of the fruits of their labour - selling the grapes to other winemakers. In 1974, when Sébastien’s father, Michel, inherited the property, this began to change, and that change has only accelerated with Seb in charge. He is a quiet person, a thoughtful winemaker who lets his wines do the talking. Each year the quality improves and he produces chiselled, fresh, mouthwatering Chenin Blancs. The regularity of quality here is seriously impressive, he doesn't put a foot wrong!

Pairing guide
Deliciously crisp, dry and refreshing, this beautifully-crafted Vouvray fizz is a real delight to the senses and a truly impressive food pairing option to explore. It’s a natural pairing for classic French and tapas dishes ranging from tortilla with potato to Serrano ham and will be particularly good with canapes or pasta dishes featuring smoked salmon, cured pork or green olives. Loaded fries and nachos are a particularly tempting pairing possibility, and we also loved it with breaded and fried chicken or seafood. Yum!
