The NV Bernard Fouquet Crémant de Vouvray is a superb traditional-method sparkling wine from one of Vouvray’s most respected producers. Crafted from 100% Chenin Blanc grown on the limestone and clay soils of the Loire Valley, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle and extended lees ageing, delivering a style that combines freshness, finesse and complexity. Bernard Fouquet has built a reputation for producing some of the region’s finest sparkling wines, offering exceptional value for lovers of Champagne and Crémant alike.
The nose shows green apple, pear and lemon zest alongside delicate notes of white flowers, brioche and toasted almonds. The palate is crisp and energetic, with fine bubbles, vibrant acidity and flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and subtle pastry notes. Dry, elegant and beautifully balanced, it finishes long and refreshing with the hallmark mineral character of Vouvray.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A fantastic alternative to Champagne that consistently overdelivers for quality and value. Fresh, refined and incredibly versatile, it pairs beautifully with oysters, prawns, smoked salmon, sushi, soft cheeses and canapés. Perfect as an aperitif or celebration wine, and best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years while its freshness and vibrancy are at their peak.
