Domaine Pascal Brunet is a family-run estate in Chinon AOC, led by Pascal Brunet since 1979 and focused on Cabernet Franc grown across a range of traditional soil types, including gravel and sand terraces near the Vienne River, tuffeau limestone slopes, and flint clay plateaus. The 17-hectare estate benefits from a semi-oceanic climate and vines averaging 35–40 years of age, contributing to consistency and balance. Farming follows sustainable practices, with late harvesting to ensure full ripeness, while cellar work remains traditional, including fermentation in concrete, extended maceration, and malolactic fermentation. The resulting wines are structured yet balanced, with fresh acidity, controlled tannins, and a profile that combines red fruit, herbal notes, and mineral character reflective of the varied soils.
