Domaine Catherine & Pierre Breton - Pierres Rousses - Vouvray

Catherine and Pierre Breton are among the Loire's most respected biodynamic producers, based in Bourgueil but also working with Chenin Blanc in Vouvray. Pierres Rousses, 'red stones', takes its name from the tuffeau soils that define the appellation's character.

At 14% ABV this is a substantive, structured Chenin: expect quince, beeswax and wet stone, with the textural weight to stand up to rich poultry, oily fish or a well-aged goat's cheese. It works equally well alongside brie or simply roasted white fish where you want a wine with genuine presence on the palate.
