When it comes to capturing the unique mineral tones of Vouvray’s soil, no one quite competes with Bernard Fouquet — a quiet, serious man who has been making some of the region’s best wines of the past few vintages. Crafted from 50 to 60 year-old vines, his ‘Cuvée de Silex’ (“silex” means “flint” in French) has explosively bright fruit and just a touch of sweetness. Simply a gorgeous wine!
Ready to drink, but may age 3-5 years.

Purity of fruit, outspoken aromas, and incredible drinkability from a small biodynamic paracel planted with 20-40 year old vines in “Le Clos des Carteries.” Grapes are hand harvested, and practices in the cellar are natural: semi-carbonic maceration with whole clusters for gentle extraction, spontaneous fermentation via natural yeasts, and no finishing, filtering, or sulfites added.

Sauvignon Blanc
LIGHT-MEDIUM BODIED, CITRUS, BRIGHT, MINERAL, NO OAK
It is incredibly bright with loads of citrus fruit on the nose with mineral notes coming through. Very fresh with good acidity, there is some lemon, gooseberry, and melon on the palate. Not grassy. Good finish.
