Effervescent Vouvray

Vignoble Brisebarre Vouvray Brut NV Region/Appellation: Vouvray Vintage: Multi vintage blend Blend: 100% Chenin Blanc ABV: 12.5% Background: Winemaker/owner Philippe Brisebarre is also the president of the permanent council of the INAO, the French government body charged with protecting the nation’s unique agricultural products (everything from cheeses like Camembert and Roquefort to chicken and cattle breeds) so you can and should expect from this wine the utterly authentic and unadulterated taste of Vouvray. Winemaking Aged for a whopping 36 months on fine lees in bottle (triple the required minimum). Tasting Note Vignoble Brisebarre’s Vouvray Brut NV is a sparkling expression of Loire Valley elegance, showcasing the versatility and finesse of Chenin Blanc. Pale gold in colour with a fine, persistent stream of bubbles, it charms with aromas of ripe apple, white peach and fresh pear, complemented by delicate white blossom notes and a subtle brioche character derived from extended lees ageing. The palate is vibrant and beautifully balanced. A lively mousse carries layers of orchard fruit, bright citrus zest and delicate mineral nuances across the tongue. The Brut-level dosage provides just enough softness to round the wine’s naturally crisp acidity, resulting in a refreshing yet harmonious finish that lingers with notes of lemon peel and chalky minerality. An impeccable aperitif, this sparkling wine is equally at home alongside white and pink-fleshed fish, shellfish, goat’s cheese, quiches and savoury flans. Best enjoyed in its youthful freshness and vitality, it will continue to drink beautifully over the next 10 years, maintaining its brightness while gaining additional complexity.
