The Sylvain Bruneau estate has a long family history that began several generations ago in Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil.
The entire vineyard is grassed or cultivated between the rows, the cavaillon is worked without weedkillers, and treatments are carefully considered: all this to increase the quality of the wines and preserve the environment. Since the 2016 vintage, the vineyard has been certified organic by an independent organization (Ecocert).
The estate covers an area of 22 hectares, protected to the north by the forest. Here, the nature of the soil has a considerable influence on the quality of the wine. Half of our estate is located on south-facing slopes and is covered with old vines planted in clay-limestone soil overlying tuffeau.
The wines produced from these vines are full-bodied and long on the palate. They develop an aroma of red fruits that varies in intensity depending on the year. The other half of the vineyard is planted in sandy soil, which produces lighter, fruitier wines that are best enjoyed young.
