"A fine example of the appellation—a sure bet!"

This vintage develops complex aromas of very ripe, even jam-like red fruits. It is perfectly balanced, with pleasantly pronounced acidity. The tannins are well-integrated, lending the wine body and a long finish.

Winery rated 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

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, protected 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 produced from these vines are full-bodied and have a long finish. The other half of the vineyard is planted in sandy soil, which yields lighter, fruitier wines best enjoyed young. Priced at less than 15 euros, these wines offer good value for the money.

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

Des vignes de 60 ans et un séjour en fût d'un an ont façonné ce 2022 sérieux, sous le joug de l'élevage, qui peut compter sur ses tanins serrés et son fruit ensoleillé pour tenir la garde.

About the estate:

Representing the third generation of winemakers at this estate, which consistently produces high-quality wines, Sylvain Bruneau—who took over in 1998—has converted his vineyard, which spans about 20 hectares, to organic farming.

Award-winning wine (2025 guide) Silver Medal - Loire Valley Wines

About the wine:

La robe brillante couleur rouge rubis profond s’ouvre sur un nez expressif et plaisant qui associe les odeurs des confitures de fruits rouges et noirs (fraise, framboise, cassis) à des notes vanillées et épicées (poivre). La bouche à l’attaque souple offre une matière charnue, de la suavité, du volume, ainsi que des arômes fruités (confitures), épicés et boisés qui enrobent des tannins présents mais fondus puis persistent dans une finale élégante, puissante et longue. « Beau potentiel ». Superbe Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil.
