2020 Vouvray sec Domaine du Clos Naudin Foreau Vincent

Description

Managed by the Foreau family for several generations, this estate is renowned for producing wines of great precision, showcasing the unique potential of the Vouvray terroir.

This wine stands out for its freshness and minerality. The Chenin Blanc, cultivated on clay and limestone soils, beautifully expresses ripe fruit aromas, combined with vibrant acidity and a remarkable length on the palate.
