Dom. Fouet 2021 Saumur Blanc Clos de Midi Vieilles Vignes
Hailing from a prize parcel planted 50 years ago high in Brézé’s calcareous vineyards, and aged in a wooden “egg”, this builds on the qualities of its younger sibling, “L’Ardillon, to offer an exquisitely poised Chenin that seems infused with smoked salt. Unfined and unfiltered.
