"The 2019 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Sec offers a deep, rich yet pure and refined, intensely aromatic, darker-toned nose with aromas of fully ripe stone and tropical fruit intertwined with earthy, chalky and yeasty notes that make up for further finesse and complexity. Full-bodied, round and fruity on the palate, this is a deep, intense, juicy, silky-textured yet tight, chalky, very complex, sustainably structured and persistently salty-mineral Chenin from old vines that give extra concentration as well as a spectacularly expressive character. This is a great, age-worthy Vouvray with fine tannins and lingering salty tension and finesse. What a finish! The 2019 needs a while to gain finesse and even more complexity. The wine served from the bottle that I tasted nine days before was incredibly amazing! The 2019 is a duty for all Chenin aficionados! 13.5% alcohol. 30,000 bottles made. Tasted in July 2020."

The estate tells you about it: On the Vouvrillon hillside, at the confluence of oceanic and continental climates, the Chenin vines are a marvelous reflection of the land that sustains them. Sorting carried out from the beginning of the harvest refines the precision of each cuvée and contributes to giving the best expression of our terroirs. The dry wines are the perfect illustration of this; vinified in the purest tradition of the house, one can feel the fruitiness of the clays of Haut-Lieu, the mineral chiselling of the flint of Mont and the roundness of the limestone of Clos du Bourg.
