Sebastien Brunet, "La Folie 1ère Trie", Vouvray LIQUOREUX
Sébastien’s entry level wine made from a selection of almost all of his vineyards. A perfect demonstration of how Sébastien makes some of the most taut yet expressive wines of all Vouvray. The Cuvée name comes the first year of production, 2007, when all the fruit came from a single parcel sized “one Arpent”, which is an old French unit of measure, just under half a hectare.
