Le Facteur sul Velo
After completing a university course in the field of wine and obtaining a degree in 2007, Fabien Brutout worked for 2 years as an apprentice with Sébastien Brunet in Vouvray. He joined Mathieu Cosme at the end of 2008 and committed to the estate full-time.
In 2013, following a discussion and tasting with some Belgian friends, the idea of creating a range of wines complementary to those produced by Mathieu began to take shape. "Le Facteur" was born, and Fabien was given complete freedom regarding the winemaking.
In 2018, he settled in Noizay, taking over 4 hectares of vineyards in the A.O.C. Vouvray and Touraine. Meanwhile, with his brother, a farmer who took over the family farm, he planted 2 hectares of vineyards in the north of Indre-et-Loire, in the hamlet of L’Encloître (Beaumont-la-Ronce).
On these family lands with limestone subsoils, which saw vineyards before the phylloxera, Chenin is predominant but also coexists with Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pineau d'Aunis, and Gamay. This variety fuels Fabien's creativity in his winemaking for the years to come. Now self-employed, Fabien Brutout heads a vineyard of 7 hectares spread over several terroirs.
