Winemaking: The wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in a combination of cement tanks and demi-muids.
Vineyards and terroir: The name comes from Les Brusquières, a parcel in the northwest of the appellation. The vines are more than 70 years old, and the estate farms sustainably.
Family and history: Clos des Brusquières is a small, traditional estate run by the Courtil family, who have grown grapes for five generations. Owner and winemaker Claude Courtil, godson of Henri Bonneau and his former apprentice, has run it since 1969 with his wife Nanou and their sons David and Jérôme. They make only one wine.
