WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Arpent is a product of meticulous organic viticulture, with manual harvesting ensuring grape quality. Fermentation relies on natural yeasts in stainless steel, followed by a brief aging period where about 20% of the wine matures in older barriques. This approach reflects Sébastien Brunet's commitment to sustainability and his philosophy of minimal intervention, allowing the inherent purity and minerality of the Vouvray terroir to define the wine.
