Domaine des Aubuisieres Bernard Fouquet Sparkling Vouvray Brut NV
$49.00
Description
Fantastic sparkling Chenin Blanc from Bernard Fouquet in the Loire Valley, yet again another example of how much value can be found in sparkling wines from other regions in France.
This wine sits in every sommelier’s back pocket as a value-driven, traditional method sparkling wine that punches far above its class. Composed mostly of the 2018 vintage with a splash of 2017, this was fermented in used French oak before a year-long secondary fermentation in bottle. Ripe and rich baked apple nose, lemon zest, pineapple cream pie, lime pith, the pearly inside of an oyster & fine, frilly bubbles.
Domaine des Aubuisires is composed of 28ha of Chenin Blanc planted on the best terroir of Vouvray. A delicate sparkling wine, displaying floral, honey and beeswax notes with a fine balance and a long harmonious finish. Refreshing and fine.
