Subject: Our Top Loire Value of 2019: 93pt Vouvray Sec for $19.99 - Bernard Fouquet Domaine des Aubuisières Vouvray Sec Le Petit Clos 2018

"The 2018 Vouvray “le Petit Clos” Sec from Bernard Fouquet is flat out gorgeous on the nose, offering up stellar depth and nascent complexity. However, the price to be paid for this kind of aromatic fireworks in 2018 is plenty of alcohol on the palate, as to ferment this wine to proper dryness of a Sec has allowed it to get a bit heady on the backend. It comes in listed at fourteen percent, but is probably a bit higher than this, but I have no problem with the balance of the wine and love its depth and zesty personality. The bouquet is stunning, soaring from the glass in a blaze of pineapple, very sweet quince, just a hint of honeycomb, orange blossoms, beautiful base of chalky soil tones and a topnote of citrus peel. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and rock solid at the core, with lovely mineral drive, bright acids and superb length and grip on the powerful and focused finish. I am a bit out of my depth in forecasting how a stellar Vouvray Sec at this octane level might age long-term, as I have never encountered a young wine like this, but my gut feeling is that it may turn out to be timeless."
