2022 Bernard Fouquet - Domaine des Aubuisières ‘Cuvée de Silex’ Vouvray

Winemaker Notes: Bernard Fouquet, a quiet-spoken man, is making some of the most serious Vouvray of the last few vintages. He is now regarded in France and the international press as one of the top three Vouvray producers. No one succeeds better than Bernard in capturing the mineral tones unique to Vouvray’s soil, with the marvelous balance of explosive fruit and titillating sensation of the Chenin Blanc grape. Sensational value.
