About the estate:

With a long family history, the Bruneau-Dupuy estate is now run by Sylvain. Since 2012, the vineyard has been in the process of converting to organic farming. The estate covers an area of 20 hectares, sheltered to the north by the forest. Half of the estate is located on south-facing slopes, covered with old vines planted in clay-limestone soils. The wines from these vines are full-bodied and have a long finish. The other half of the vineyard is planted in sandy soil, which produces lighter, fruitier wines best enjoyed young. Priced at under 15 euros, the wines offer good value for money.

Review by Mr. Gilles D. Published on June 22, 2025

This unfiltered, unadorned spring vintage reveals its lightness and mineral freshness right from the first sip, underscored by smooth, supple tannins that blend seamlessly with the sparkling red berries of the orchard. A decent, slightly spicy finish. A cheerful wine that pairs perfectly with rillons and rillettes from Tours, or with a medley of fresh vegetables and small bacon bits. Rating = 3.8.
