2023 Vouvray 'Le Petit Clos Sec', Bernard Fouquet

The Loire Valley appellation produces some of the most exciting and diverse white wines in the world, whatever your taste. The secret lies in the Chenin Blanc grape — naturally endowed with body, freshness, and a spine of vibrant acidity. Few regions showcase Chenin’s brilliance as well as Vouvray, which many argue produces its finest expression.

Among the many styles, Bernard Fouquet’s Vouvray stands firmly in the bone-dry camp. Think crisp Bramley apple fruit, a whisper of creamy texture, and a mouthwatering, thirst-quenching finish. It’s gorgeous solo, but with Sunday’s roast pork? That’s going to be a heavenly match.
