Benoit Gautier Vouvray de Gautier 2018

The “Vouvray De Gautier” is winemaker Benoit Gautier’s signature wine of the vintage. It is made from a selection of ripe Chenin Blanc grapes from many of his domaine’s vineyard parcels with flint-clay (argilo-siliceux) soil.

In the Spring, Gautier chooses young wines with the sugar-acid balance that he seeks for Vouvray de Gautier.

The fruity acidity of the Chenin Blanc is balanced with apricot and pear fruit with and honey notes and just enough residual sugar – the amount varies from year to year in proportion to acidity level – to attain a slightly off-dry finish.
