Domaine du Clos Naudin
Domaine du Clos Naudin is a century-old family estate now run by Philippe Foreau, a leading figure in the Vouvray appellation. His credo: "To drink wine, beyond the sip swallowed, is to wonder about the mysteries of its taste, to understand its origin, its grape variety, its soil, to understand the climatic conditions it has received". A passionate winemaker who pampers his vines and his land.

Aware that the notion of terroir is important, Domaine du Clos Naudin 's top priority is to respect the soil's microbial life. Like his grandfather and father before him, Philippe Foreau remains committed to traditional methods and an organic approach to the cultivation of his 12 hectares, located on the first slope and averaging 37 years of age. Grass is controlled mechanically with conventional ploughing, thus avoiding the use of chemical weedkillers, which are harmful to the soil, the environment and our health. Fertilizer inputs are moderate and of organic origin. No insecticides are used. Pruning is short, giving an average yield of around 38 hl/ha. The grapes are harvested by hand to avoid any crushing. Vinification is carried out exclusively with the yeasts present on the grape skins, in 300-liter barrels with a maximum of 5% new wood each year.

Aromatic purity, typicity, finesse, elegance, balance, length on the palate... These are just some of the goals sought by Domaine du Clos Naudin in the elaboration of its cuvées.

"A soft, supple wine with majestic balance that will improve year after year.

Magnificent Vouvray moelleux, precise and delicate, with notes of very ripe banana and a hint of blond caramel. Remarkable acidity-sugar balance, without heaviness.

fine bubbles

aperitif

"A Chenin bubble with a beautiful aromatic complexity, all elegance and subtlety".

We find the freshness of the grape variety with notes of lemon and almond, on a mineral background. Ideal as an aperitif, especially with fish rillettes or other "marine" appetizers.

"A goldsmith's work that works its magic with every tasting! A must-have in every good cellar".

"Made from botrytized and passerillé grapes, the quintessential estate wine, Cuvée Réserve is only produced in exceptional vintages. For this reason, Vincent and Philippe Foreau sacrificed a large part of the 2018 dry vintage for this exceptional cuvée, where the 132 grams of residual sugar are absolutely energized by a very pure mineral tension. The wine then settles in voluptuously. Its body is both majestic and agile, full of vivacity. Lingering aromas of mango, rum, vanilla, saffron and a hint of chalk build a stunning finish. We'll find it again in 50 years. (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve).

Bewitching

"A harmonious cuvée with perfect balance, guaranteeing great tasting moments".

"The 2018 Vouvray Demi-Sec is a cloud of Chenin Blanc that fills the mouth like a floating ghost of pure fruit. It's almost weightless, but its appeal is mesmerizing. Fine, transparent, with flavors reminiscent of fresh pear and ripe apple. It's a harmonious whole. I wish I could taste demi-sec like this every day." (Vinous A. Galloni)

"Lots of finesse and elegance in this sunny vintage, a great white to keep!"

The 5g of residual sugars in this dry wine are erased and supported by beautiful acidity and bitters, bringing balance and digestibility. The mouthfeel is silky, delicate and fine. This wine offers perfect balance.

"A work of goldsmith (RVF)".

"The solar character of the vintage is melted away, with magnificent nuances of spice and candied fruit. The chalky, saline feel on the palate is impressive. Already incredibly greedy, it will age with extreme elegance". (Le guide RVF 2023). One of the estate's jewels!

15/20 Bettane & Desseauve

(2008 vintage notes)

New vintage, 2008 rated: Bettane & Desseauve 15/20
With its lovely deep yellow color, this Vouvray brut reveals a fine nose, with delicate brioche nuances and notes of green apple and hazelnut. A sparkling wine of elegance and freshness, where liveliness is balanced with a pleasant roundness. Best served with desserts!
