Domaine Boutet Saulnier Vouvray Brut

NV

100% Chenin Blanc

Loire Valley, France

Domaine Boutet-Saulnier was founded in 1950, Christophe Boutet took over in 1997 and refocused the family estate towards importers, retail wine stores, and individuals. The Boutets' vineyards can be found in the small Vouvray appellation.

This ‘méthode traditionnelle’ Vouvray Brut is aged for 4 months the on lees in stainless steel tanks ahead of fermentation. Boutet uses a personal blend of still wine to start the second fermentation process. Afterward, all bottles are riddled by hand by the owners, amounting to 3800-4200 bottles every six weeks. The riddling process ensures that all sediment gets collected at the neck of the bottle for disgorgement. 

This wine will be bright yellow with fine, persistent bubbles. You will be greeted with citrus and white fruit. The Palate is fresh and lively and finishes with elegance and fruit. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with Gruyere and Cheese Gougères (French Cheese Puffs).
