Domaine Julien Braud

Loire Valley, France

Julien Braud is an artisanal, next-generation French wine producer based in the Monnières village of the Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine appellation within the western Loire Valley. As a 6th-generation vine grower, Braud initially worked at his family’s reputed estate, Domaine Fief aux Dames, before branching out in 2012 to establish his own independent label. Starting with just 3 hectares of land, he and his wife Apolline have since expanded the estate to 13 hectares of fully certified organic vineyards.
