Domaine Brusset

Daniel and Laurent Brusset

On this family estate established in 1947, the Brusset family has managed to combine the “savoir faire” of traditional winemaking with the new techniques introduced by each generation. The founder, André Brusset (1910-1999), his son Daniel, and his grand-son Laurent : three wine-growers and wine-makers with a variety of experiences have all contributed to the distinctive character of the Domaine Brusset, where three complementary generations together have achieved the best results.

De Valandraud No. 3 Saint Emillion Gr. Cru

In 1989, Jean-Luc Thunevin and his wife, Murielle Andraud, acquired a small parcel of 0,6 hectare in the small valley of Saint-Emilion between Pavie-Macquin and La Clotte. And started in 1991 the adventure of Valandraud.

Since then, they have acquired more vineyards and properties in famous locations such as Saint-Sulpice de Faleyres, Saint-Emilion and Saint-Etienne de Lisse. 3 de Valandraud is the true second wine of Jean-Luc Thunevin’s famous Valandraud, Virginie and Clos Badon.
