Three generations of Foreau men have tended this property in the northeast corner of Vouvray, making some of the most spectacular, terroir-driven examples of Chenin Blanc found anywhere in the world. Using organic farming methods, vigneron Phillippe Foreau carefully nurtures his 11.5 hectares.
Romantic, enchanted region of the Loire Vally, replete with the famed chateaux perched on the banks of the river. Here the Chenin Blanc grape holds sway, and the whites are justifiably famed for their opulence and longevity. It is here that the continental air patterns meet those of the Atlantic, causing all manner of weather conditions, which is a two-edged sword for the growers of the region. Some years see extraordinary growing seasons, but just as easily the vintage could end in disaster.
There are several styles of Vouvray, the most popular being sec (dry) or demi-sec (off-dry), both of which age splendidly, owing to the strong acidic structure of the wines. Growing in availability are the sparkling Vouvrays, some of which can rival any top sparkling wine in the world in elegance and age-worthiness.
