Crystalline Vouvray

Vignoble Brisebarre Vouvray Sec 2024. Dry. Region/Appellation: Vouvray. Vintage: 2024 Blend: 100% Chenin Blanc ABV: 13% Tasting Note: 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. Glowing straw-gold in the glass, it opens with refined aromas of fresh pear, quince and ripe citrus, interwoven with delicate floral notes and autographed with the quintessential notes of lanolin which just sing “Vouvray!” from every glass. The palate is both generous and precise, offering a rounded, silky texture anchored by zesty acidity and a compelling saline finish reminiscent of salty rocks and mineral-rich mountain streams. Its balance of ripeness, freshness and minerality gives the wine a vibrant, harmonious profile with excellent gastronomic versatility. Perfect with tuna carpaccio, seared scallops, or sweet-savoury Thai cuisine. Enjoy now for its youthful energy or cellar confidently for up to 15 years as it develops greater depth, waxy complexity and nuanced savoury character.
