Sylvain Bruneau

The Bruneau-Dupuy estate is a long family history. Today it is Sylvain and his wife, Angélique, who manage the vineyard. Located in the Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil appellation, the couple produces only single-variety Cabernet Franc. The terroir is for two thirds on sand and gravel and for another third on clay-limestone slopes. Since 2013, Sylvain leads the vineyard in organic farming. At the domain, the respect of the environment of culture is essential. In fact, it is since 2006, that the step was taken, and that the winegrower from the Loire Valley started to work all his soils according to the principle of organic farming. For Sylvain, working the soil is a bit like working with wood: there is a noble side: "that's why the word "terroir" takes on its meaning!
