Vouvray Arpent Sec 2024 | Sebastien Brunet

Born and raised in Vouvray, Sébastien Brunet was destined to be a vigneron. After studying at the local viticultural school under the mentorship of Vincent Careme, he joined his father Michel at Domaine Roche Fleurie, working together for six vintages. When his father passed away in 2006, Sébastien took over the estate and in 2007 expanded the family domain from 3 to 15 hectares across Vernou and Chançay. Placing the highest priority on tending the vines, he carefully respects the identity of each vineyard parcel. The estate is converting to organic viticulture, operating without machinery or chemical inputs, and produces wines of striking precision. From dry and sweet to dessert and sparkling styles, Sébastien’s Chenin Blanc wines express the grape’s potential to perfection.

A crisp and precise Chenin Blanc from the heart of Vouvray, Arpent Sec showcases bright citrus, green apple, and subtle floral notes. The mineral-rich soils bring a steely edge, offering a refreshing and balanced finish.

Hand-harvested, sorted grapes, fermented with native yeasts, and aged in stainless steel to preserve freshness and purity. No added sulfur, maintaining the integrity of the terroir. A pure, elegant Vouvray with great potential.
