Tasting Note:
The 2021 Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Sec offers a clear and intense bouquet of ripe and concentrated fruits, with chalky and sur lie aromas. Pure, linear and fresh on the palate, this is a lean yet tensioned and thrilling, enormously saline Vouvray Sec that is as pure and fresh as rarely before. Almost ascetic but full of thrills and tension, the 2021 shows all the features of a classic, cool vintage and indicates excellent aging capacity. The tannins are chalky and interwoven with the saline and crystalline acidity. There's not much texture here at this early stage, but this will develop with bottle age.
Vinification:
The Amoreau family owns 16 hectares and produces around 50,000 bottles of natural wines.
