Domaine Sebastien Brunet, Vouvray Brut NV
Traditional method sparkling that we feel would certainly raise a few eyebrows! Wonderful intensity and persistence of bubbles with classical biscuit and bread dough, with a back bone of crisp, fresh orchard fruits.

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.
