Les Folies Vouvray 2022
Loire Valley, France – 100% Chenin Blanc

Stunningly fresh and elegant, this Vouvray is a vibrant expression of Chenin Blanc. Grown sustainably on clay-limestone soils with 15-year-old vines, the wine shows the precision and charm typical of the Loire.

The nose bursts with ripe stone fruit—think apricot and yellow peach—wrapped in soft notes of honey. On the palate, it’s round yet crisp, with a clean mineral edge and creamy texture from time spent on fine lees.

A casual, easygoing style that’s absolutely perfect for summer sipping. Surprisingly good—this bottle punches well above its weight. 🍑🍯☀️

Couldn't ask for a better wine to end my involuntary 2-months streak of no wines. Chardy muscate from old vines planted on gray marl, bought and spun into gold by the Ganevat's after aging on lees for 30 months. Straight out of the gates, it was like sipping on lemon drops and slurping on oysters by the sea. As nice as that was, it was the days after that the wine truly shone. Candied tangerine, ripe stone fruits, lemon zest, baked goods, brioche, toasted almonds, white florals, and a touch of smoke. Long finish driven by fine acidity and chalky minerality. Drank like a great champagne without bubbles. It's a one on the binary scale! — 4 years ago

Really nice cab franc sparkling rose’. Active, small bubbles. Light strawberries on the palate w just a touch of tart cranberries then a creamy mousse and a faint note of toastiness. — 5 years ago

There was no grolleau in the '21 vintage and was replaced by cab franc and pinot noir, which made for a slighly drier wine this time around. Still very enjoyable, with its lovely floral aromas and fruity notes of peach and apricot on the palate. 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Gamay, 20% Pinot Noir. 9/21/22. — 3 years ago
