Jean-Marc Gilet 'Les Perruches' Vouvray Sec 2023
100% Chenin Blanc. The grapes, from 20-40 year-old vines on clay-limestone soils with the famous tuffeau subsoils of the region, are hand harvested. Part of them are fermented at a low temperature in stainless steel tanks and part in used oak barrels, and then the wine is aged on its lees with batonnage for 6 months. The wine is an appealing silvery-gold color, and has aromas of wild peach, fresh almonds and locust tree flowers. On the palate it is dry but with nice lush citrus fruit and slightly nutty flavors. A great match for roast chicken or veal piccata.
