90pts Vinous

The 2017 Brut Vouvray Pétillant is a lightly sparkling demi-sec style. This is a round and lightly biscuity expression with very fine delicate bubbles but not fully sparkling - the second fermentation uses some residual natural sugar that is retained from the first fermentation. Left on lees for around three years, it develops a light pastry character alongside floral notes and a salty sensation. The mouth-watering acidity combines with an attractive, textural roundness and weight. 

Winemaker Notes

100% Chenin Blanc from Huet’s three biodynamic vineyards on Vouvray’s Premiere Côte. Bottled before primary fermentation is completed, yeast added to complete the ferment. At 10g/l there’s a noticeable sweetness, but it finishes dry and zippy thanks to pronounced acid. Get ripe honeycrisp apples, nectarines, exotic spices and honeysuckle. Not to be confused with Champagne flavors, but it is a special bottle of bubbly.

Among the great values in sparkling wine and competes in pedigree, texture and flavor with many Champagnes. Shows trues versatility of Chenin and provides endless drinking pleasure.
