Domaine Philippe Brisbarre is a leading producer of Vouvray Demi-Sec Chenin Blanc in the Loire Valley, renowned for wines that authentically express their terroir.
Philippe Brisbarre, a passionate advocate for Vouvray's unique character, meticulously crafts wines that showcase the inherent qualities of Chenin Blanc.
His commitment to minimal intervention winemaking, respecting the influence of vintage variations, ensures each bottle reflects the unique nuances of the growing season.
As the President of the regional INAO committee, Philippe actively upholds the integrity of the Vouvray appellation.
His traditional cellar practices, emphasizing natural fermentation with native yeasts and avoiding modern interventions like pumps, result in wines that are both elegant and deeply reflective of their origin.
Classic vinification in temperature controlled cuves after soft pressing and clarification.
After six months of settling in cuve, the wine is bottled and undergoes its second fermentation in the bottle.
After three years "sur latte" the wine is disgorged and finished.
With its additional year on the lees and slightly lower yield, the vintage dated Fines Bulles offers even more complexity, with the yeasty brioche even more well defined.
Remarkably fine bubbles with an elegant impression on the palate and beautiful long finish.
Residual sugar about 10g/L. Keep for up to ten years in the cellar.
About 4,500 bottles produced.
