Philippe Foreau still works the domaine following the traditions of his Grandfather but has brought a polish and elegance to the wines. Indeed we believe he produces the purist and most profound expression of Vouvray today. Unsurprisingly yields are kept low and the grapes are carefully selected in the vineyard, which is picked in successive tris. Only natural yeasts are used for the slow fermentation, which takes place in old 300 litre casks. There is no chaptilisation or acidificaiton and the wine is therefore a true reflection of the year.

Loire
1991 Vouvray Sec A rich, mature fruit nose. Heavy aromas of banana, apricot oil with a crisp, mineral edge. This is one of those quaintly old fashioned, slightly odd Loire wines - deep, rich, mature fruit. Big, mouth filling, very nutty with a balanced almost sour lemon/ grapefruit acidity. Long finish with hints of hay/ sawdust. (CG)
