Tasting

To the eye

A pale yellow colour with golden hues.

Nose

A powerful and precise nose, with hints of quince and candied apricot, complemented by a touch of bitter orange zest and floral notes.

Palate

Devilishly precise on the palate: delicate, crisp and taut, with sharp acidity and a harmonious balance. A great Chenin, vibrant and distinguished.

Pairing

Pan-fried scallops with brown butter, triple-cream Brie, or fine fish in a sauce. Serve at 11–12°C.

Aging potential

Excellent ageing potential: at 16 years old, this wine is at its peak and can still be kept for many more years, as Foreau is renowned for wines that age gracefully over the decades.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does the almost honeyed texture of this Vouvray mean it is sweet?

No: this texture describes its mouthfeel, not necessarily a sweet flavor. At Foreau, the low residual sugar in wines labeled “Dry” is balanced by vibrant acidity, which preserves a distinctly dry impression.

Is this 2010 better suited to fans of taut whites or generous whites?

It may appeal to both: its precision and acidity are complemented by a generous body. It is particularly appealing if you are looking for freshness without sacrificing a full-bodied texture.

What makes this 2010 a good choice for building a cellar of age-worthy Chenins?

Foreau’s wines are described as capable of improving over several decades, and this 2010 has been hailed as “a truly great wine.” These qualities make it an interesting candidate for aging, although they do not allow us to specify a precise drinking window.

For a meal where I want to avoid sweet wines, should I choose this Foreau or Huet’s Clos du Bourg Moelleux?

The 2010 Foreau is a better fit for this preference, with a dry impression on the palate despite its generous texture. The Clos du Bourg in question is labeled “medium-sweet,” so the two bottles do not meet the same expectations for sweetness.

Can I expect to find this same balance in every Foreau vintage?

Not necessarily: at Foreau, the “Dry” designation depends on the conditions of the year and the composition of the grapes at harvest. If you enjoy the combination of vibrant acidity and generous texture here, it is best to check the profile of each vintage rather than relying on the estate name alone.
