Pierres Rousses Vouvray 2015
Vouvray, Touraine, Loire, FranceThis wine is made by the son of founders / owners Catherine and Pierre Brenton, organic champions who farm eleven hectares of vines just east of Bourgueil in the village of Restigné. Their eldest 20's something son, Paul, has joined the generations and made this singular chenin from the tiny lieu-dit of Pierre Rousses in Vouvray, named for the red rocks covering the surface of the limestone undercover. Give this ample airtime to allow the exceptional layers of crushed stone, earthy pear, wild clover, key lime, honeysuckle, white pepper, ample crushed sea salts, to emerge and pulse along the confidently lackadaisical palate. After native fermentation in 1-to-2-year-old barrique this ages in barrique for 7 months, sans MLF.Tasted: 11 July 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $43.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
