Cave Bruneau-Dupuy - Les Pentes 2022

Cave Bruneau-Dupuy — a small family estate located in St. Nicolas de Bourgueil in the Loire Valley — is owned and managed by Sylvain Bruneau and his wife, Angélique. The estate's 22-hectares of vineyards are farmed organically (since 2016), planted exclusively to Cabernet Franc on clay-limestone soils over tuffeau and sandy soils. It is the sandy soils of Saint Nicolas that give the wines and extra lift and elegance compared to other Cabernet Franc appellations in the Loire. All grapes are destemmed and fermented in stainless steel and/or concrete tanks before aging in concrete or barrel. Cave Bruneau-Dupuy crafts amazing wines of distinction and elegance.
