Henri Bruneau and Antoine Labrosse have run Clos de l'Épinay since 2023, taking over a historic Vouvray estate founded over 300 years ago, with the manor house at the Clos dating back to 1702. We're on the premier côte here, soils mixing clay, limestone, flint, and clay-silica sands. The 18 hectares — 17 of them Chenin — are massale selection, farmed organically, with huge work first on parcel selection, then on the winemaking. Case-by-case is the rule in the cellar: deep analysis to bring out the full potential of each wine, adapting pressing method, vessel... total tailor-made! Henri holds a viti-oeno degree and co-founded Domaine des Frères in Chinon (no less!). Antoine Labrosse co-pilots the estate's takeover and evolution, steering with Henri a clear shift toward precise, natural, delicious wines, rooted in their terroir.
Sulphites-free wine
A beautiful, dry Chenin—complex, with notes of lemon, white peach, verbena, and chamomile, a mineral backbone, and plenty of freshness. On the palate: savory, with great purity and tension, and a long, powerful finish carried by a hint of vanilla.
Sulphites-free wine
A real favourite: a complex Chenin with notes of preserved lemon, white peach, flint, nutmeg and a touch of iodine… On the palate: plenty of body, full of energy, in perfect harmony with the complexity of the nose. Natural and flawless. Feel free to let it degas before serving, if you wish!
Sulphites-free wine
Ripe white fruit, hints of citrus and butter, a mineral backbone—a Chenin just the way we like it, structured and built for aging! A few words from Henri: “This wine reflects the acidity of its soil and climate; it is very stable yet very lively.”
Sulphites-free wine
Watch out—this one’s a real favorite! Citrus, stone fruits, flint, a hint of iodine… Energetic and aromatic on the palate, with fine, abundant bubbles. Wait a while before opening it—you’ll be rewarded.
Sulphites-free wine
A powerful, fruit-driven nose with notes of wild strawberry, raspberry, blackberry jam, Morello cherry, alongside beautiful peony and a touch of pepper. Fine-textured and beautifully elegant, with superb aromatic length. Crafted for your gastronomic pairings!
