Alexandre Giquel 'Mecanique des Fluides’ Methode Traditional 2020
The Loire Valley is a great place to find sparkling wine, for less than the cost of Champagne. This one has been aged for three years on lees and is a stunning example of the sparkling Chenin Blanc. It offers crisp, dry notes of pear, quince, and apple, balanced by bright acidity and layers of complexity. The wine has a textured finish and is a wonderful representation of Quality Vouvray.
Alexandre is the newest vigneron in Vouvray but has been well-implanted in the world of winemaking for over a decade. He has been training horses to work in the vineyard and has travelled across France with these horses to help others cultivate in this way. He is native to Vouvray and so it seemed logical for him, after his years of travel, to come back and work his block of land in this way. He makes Vouvray and Gamay in his own vineyard of 3 hectares.
