Felt like a really nice time to be drinking this. Cool and mineral in feel, with pure lemony fruit and a hint of salinity. Just so easy and elegant - not demonstrative, but clean and delightful. I don't think I'd have placed this as a Chenin if it had been drunk blind - maybe I'd have guessed something from Savoie?

Medium straw. Toffee apple and creme brûlée. Iron ark honey. Sweet nose although it does maintain some freshness. White blossom and poached nectarine. Rich entry. Tight acid. Very bright focused finish. Even texture and very good length. A classic Vouvray. Pleasant wine drinking very well.

Well…this made my heart pitter-patter. The 2015 Foreau Vouvray “Sec” currently pours a deep straw color with medium+ viscosity. On the nose, medium+ intensity, with lanolin, peach and lemon. On the palate, the stone fruits, citrus and lanolin are also present with a lovely run of minerals. The texture is simply divine. The wine is dry but a little RS there just because. Soaring high acid makes the mineral finish forever long and gives the overall impression of freshness. A fabulous Vouvray Sec drinking so well at the moment.
