The Story

When Foreau issues a “Sec” (and the decision to do so relates entirely to the vintage conditions and the composition of the grapes at harvest), the wine can carry from 1 to 2 grams of residual sugar but never more than 6 grams. Because of the vibrant acidity that accompanies these wines, the sensation one experiences is of drinking a scintillatingly dry wine, although one with considerable body and a honeyed texture.

About Dom du Clos Naudin

Brand Story

Philippe Foreau is the third generation of the Foreau family to produce Vouvray from this fabled domaine which his grandfather purchased in 1923. Philippe assumed the direction of the domaine in 1983 upon the retirement of his father, André. Since 2015, Philippe works alongside his son Vincent, who continues the family’s tradition of crafting some of the greatest white wines anywhere. The domaine consists of 11 1/2 hectares planted to Chenin Blanc, located in the northeast corner of Vouvray, sited mid-hill with 100% south/southeast/southwest exposures.
