Bernard Fouquet, Vouvray Le Petit Clos Sec 2022
"The 2022 Bernard Fouquet Vouvray Le Petit Clos Sec is another wine to make one smile – a brilliant expression of Chenin Blanc, that most versatile of grapes. Despite its huge success in South Africa, Chenin never sings so well as it does in the Loire Valley, where it makes wonderful sparklers, dry, medium and sweet whites. Here, Bernard Fouquet has fermented and aged the wine on its lees in amphorae, producing a perfectly balanced, creamy yet fresh, mineral, bone-dry example."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine
Bernard Fouquets wine is of the bone dry persuasion. As I write this I have a tasting glass on my desk, a little condensation pearling down the sides of the glass, and the liquid inside is insanely refreshing. I absolutely love the core of Bramley appley fruit, the very delicately creamy texture and the thirst-quenching crisp freshness. This is gorgeous on its own, but I will have to open another bottle for Sunday's roast pork lunch - it will be a match made in heaven, I am sure.
