Domaine Sebastien Brunet, Vouvray Sec 'Arpent' 2023

£27.60

Sebastien's 'entry' level but punching far above its divisions. A rich, complex nose that develops in the glass as the wine warms. Salty, mineral character is complimented with rich lemon curd depth. On the palette, the wine speaks of its terroir, big and rich coming from its clay soils, still with a mineral streak to lift and balance the wine.

Born and raised in Vouvray, Sebastien Brunet was destined to be a vigneron. He studied at the local viticultural school under the mentorship of local figure Vincent Careme. His father Michel inherited 4 hectares in 1974 and made a move to produce his own wines under the name Domaine Roche Fleurie. Sebastien joined his father after his studies and worked together for 6 vintages. Following his father passing in 2006, Sebastien took the estate to a new level.
