Vouvray Sec Silex Domaine Vigneau-Chevreau 2023

Description

The Vigneau-Chevreau family have been making wine since 1875, and the 30-hectare domaine is planted entirely with Chenin Blanc. The late Jean-Michel Vigneau saw the benefits of organic viticulture in the early 90s and by 1999 the Domaine was certified organic. The new generation of the Vigneau family have gone one step further by becoming one of only two estates in Vouvray to be certified Biodynamic. Time and time again, our visits to the Vigneau corridor-like cave cut deep into the hillside above Chançay prove to be amongst the most memorable of the year.

The delicious more forward Vouvray Silex is from the flint and clay soils. It is fermented and matured in stainless steel tank at a cool temperature. A small proportion is matured in barrel to add complexity.

This Vouvray is bright gold and intense. Delicious pure Chenin Blanc with quince and almond notes and a touch of pineapple and cooked apple … Perfect acid balance and it finishes with a real zing.

Classic dry Chenin, this offers exceptional value for money
