2022 Alexandre Monmousseau - Vouvray Clos de Vigneau

Wine Spectator's #1 Value Wine of the Year

Phil "discovered" this wine in a chance meeting at the Air France lounge in Bordeaux! This blend of 70% Sauvignon blanc, 20% Sémillon, 10% Muscadelle is a textbook white Bordeaux that is wonderfully crisp and jut plain fun to drink. Fun fact: Hubert De Boüard (owner of Chateau Angelus in St. Emilion) consults on this wine!

Concentrated from Provence, Minuty M wines are selected in the purest Minuty style. A combination of freshness, respect for fruit and intensity of flavor. Everything about the M vintage locks in its balance and vibrancy. Jean-Etienne and Franc¸ois Matton primarily use Grenache for its elegant aromas, Cinsault for its freshness, Syrah for its complexity and a dash of seafront Tibouren for its delicate white fruit aromas. The idea is to lock in all the juices’ bright intensity. Notes of red fruit dominate the nose. The palate is greedy and round, with crunchy fruit. A slight sweetness tempers its liveliness. An introduction to the expression of Provence rosé.
