BAY ROUGE DOMAINE VAL BRUN ERIC CHARREAU
12,00 € incl. VAT
Parnay, not far from Saumur, 1983 harvest. Éric Charruau is learning in the footsteps of his father Jean-Pierre. Their vineyards are a family affair, predating the Domaine du Valbrun. Their research took them back ten generations, with the family peasantry dating back to 1722. Now accompanied by his son Léo, they are continuing their work in organic farming to produce wines that reflect all the complexity of the Saumur terroirs.
