Domaine de la Fontainerie 2014 Sec "Coteau Les Brûlés" AOC Vouvray 750mL

Available on a pre-arrival basis only. Deliveries expected late September or early October.

The Coteau Les Brûlés vineyard, meaning burned hills, is a tiny vineyard of 1.7ha sitting above the caves of the Domain. The vines are 45-50 years old and Catherine always uses old oak for this wine from barrels previously used for at least 4 vintages of the Fontainerie vineyard wines. 

With full southern aspect (hence the name burned hills), this is often one of the sweeter cuvées from the Domain, but the 2014 is very much a dry ("Sec") style. With 11 years of ageing in the limestone caves of the estate, it's a wonderful aged Chenin.
