Alexandre Giquel Vouvray, Chenin Blanc 2022
This Chenin has a hint of sweetness, plus bright notes of pear, yellow apple, beeswax and honey, finishing with hints of stone fruit and brioche. Great length, and acidity, stunning.
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.
