VIGNEAU-CHEVREAU Vouvray Sec 'Selection' 2022 Bottle/nc 12.5%abv BIO/VGN

Description

Vigneau-Chevreau is one of only two biodynamic producers in Vouvray and they have, over the years, proven themselves masters of Chenin Blanc.

This is made from fruit grown on their flinty, clay soils and is fermented and matured at cool temperatures in stainless steel with just a small proportion matured in barrel to add complexity. It's got a fresh and piercing acidity which is offset by a hint of residual sugar highlighted in the baked apple flavours and is rounded off with a smoky minerality, citrus, floral and honeyed notes as it reaches a superbly well balanced and pure flavoured finish.

Dry, but not bone dry, this matches well with fuller flavoured recipes featuring things like pork, feathered game, poultry and fish.

Wine Spectator: Jane Macquitty - "One of the very best dry vouvrays I've ever tasted from fully organic vineyards on ancient chalky slopes".
