Vouvray Sec Cuvee de Silex Domaine des Aubuisieres 2024

75cl bottle.

Time and again this proves to be the perfect example of Vouvray. A combination of old vines and ideal soil conditions along with expert winemaking practices keep many of us coming back for more. We feel its also under-priced for a French classic.

Since the beginning of 2022 Bernard Fouquet a leading light of the Vouvray appellation has been passing on his extensive knowledge and advice to Charles Lesaffre who has taken over at the domaine. Charles’ grandfather used to own the domaine so he is returning to his ancestoral home. Together they vinify nearly 30 hectares of Chenin carefully separating the grapes that grow on the argilo-calcaire limestone from those on the flintier slopes of the arrières côtes.
