Domaine du Vieux Vauvert Vouvray Sec 2024

94 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team

"A fresh, minerally delight! You know it's good because there's so many descriptors. Citrus, grapefruit, apple blossom, orange peel, flint aromas all leading to a seductive mouthfeel. Lemons and limes, apple and onto a lingering flinty minerality on the finish. Stunning!"
- Wine Direct Tasting Team

Vouvray Sec from Domaine du Vieux Vauvert comes from the Loire Valley, east of Tours, a region famous for producing excellent quality wines from Chenin Blanc grapes. The limestone-clay and clay-siliceous soil of this area is ideal for growing Chenin Blanc, contributing significantly to the mineral structure and complexity of the wine.

“Pale yellow with golden reflections. It expresses itself on the nose with floral and ripe fruit notes, including citrus fruits and quince, which evolve into honey aromas. On the palate it is round and balanced, with a long
finish centered on hints of dried fruit.”
- Wine makers Notes

It is in Vouvray that we have discovered the first vines in the Loire Valley planted by monks in Year 400. Honore de Balzac, well-know writer, was born in Tours in 1799 and he is the author of many chapters about wine “Wine has nourished my body while coffee kept my mind”, was deeply in love with the wines of Vouvray.

This is serious Vouvray and for a fraction of the price of the big boys - grab some while it lasts!
