Catherine & Pierre Breton, Vouvray Brut Sec "La Dilettante", NV
La Dilettante is Catherine Breton's personal project, the dry Vouvray she has been 'dabbling' with since 2002, and it shows in how precise it is. The fruit comes from roughly 40-year-old Chenin Blanc vines on flinty (silex) soils, gently pressed and given a short vinification in stainless steel, with no malolactic fermentation so the natural acidity stays razor-sharp. Bottled the spring after harvest, it's about purity and tension rather than weight. The Bretons are organic and biodynamic Loire pioneers, and this is imported by Kermit Lynch. A bone-dry Chenin that drinks beautifully young but has the structure to surprise you with a few years on it.
