More about Domaine Brusset

Virginia

Virginia—the fastest growing wine region in the United States--had virtually no wine industry until the mid-1970s when there were 6 wineries. Today, there are over 80 wineries and many are beginning to win national awards and international recognition. With this meteoric rise in number of wineries, award-winning vintages, rise in real estate property values, and boom in the state’s economic development and tourism, the comparisons to California’s Napa and Sonoma Valleys are inevitable. And the wine quality? Excellent. Virginia is one of the most exciting wine producing regions in the United States today. The number of wineries is growing rapidly and we are attracting new growers and many talented winemakers not only from within Virginia, but from Australia, France, Chile, and California. But the big story in Virginia is the reds. Virginia's wineries are producing first-class cabernet francs, equal to any being produced in the Loire Valley, excellent Bordeaux blends, and wild- flavored Nortons from a native Virginia grape. International winemakers and critics agree that Virginia wines are coming into their own.
