Bone-dry still Vouvray from Catherine & Pierre Breton: wet slate and flint, ripe apple and honeyed orchard fruit with a hint of tropical fruit, a round, medium-weight palate and a pure, refreshing Chenin finish made for early drinking.
Available in store
Close100% Chenin Blanc
Food pairings: Seafood, goat cheeses, lightly spiced dishes, and aperitif drinking where a dry, flinty Loire white shines.
Winemaking: A very gentle pressing is followed by a short vinification in stainless steel, with no malolactic fermentation; the wine is bottled in the spring after harvest for early enjoyment.
Vineyards and terroir: La Dilettante is Catherine Breton's own Vouvray bottling, drawn from roughly 40-year-old Chenin Blanc vines on flinty soils and farmed biodynamically.
Family and history: Catherine and Pierre Breton farm organically from Restigné, east of Bourgueil, producing Bourgueil, Chinon and a small amount of Vouvray. They are widely associated with the natural-wine movement while remaining rooted in classic Loire appellations.
