Tasting Note
The 2023 vintage of « Les Brosses » Vouvray Sec captures the crystalline purity of its limestone terroir with brilliant clarity. Glowing with a straw-gold robe, it opens with aromas of fresh pear, quince, and ripe citrus, interwoven with subtle floral honeyed tones.
On the palate, this wine is simultaneously generous and precise. The texture is rounded and silky, yet anchored by zesty acidity and a compelling saline finish that evokes crushed limestone and sea breeze. The balance between ripeness and minerality creates a vibrant and harmonious profile, ideal for gastronomic pairings:
Equally at home with delicately prepared seafood such as carpaccio of tuna or seared scallops, this cuvée also shines with sweet-savoury fusion dishes and Thai food. Enjoy it now for its youthful charm, or cellar for up to 15 years to reveal added layers of complexity and nuance.
