Visiting the Winery
Featured Wines
Dedicated entirely to Chenin Blanc, the flagship grape of Touraine, Domaine Nicolas Brunet showcases the full stylistic spectrum of Vouvray. The range features exceptional sparkling wines crafted using the traditional method, such as La Bulle Nature Brut, distinguished by fine bubbles and an un-dosed, crystalline freshness. Among the still wines, the Vouvray Sec Vieilles Vignes reveals a chiseled minerality with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a lingering saline finish. The Demi-Sec and Moelleux cuvées strike a seductive balance between luscious fruit and vibrant natural acidity, releasing aromas of ripe quince, candied apricot, and acacia honey. Each wine faithfully reflects the purity of organic farming and the deep chalky minerality of the tuffeau.
