More about this wine

The Coteau Les Brûlés vineyard, meaning burned hills, is a tiny vineyard of 1.7ha sitting above the caves of the Domain. The vines are 45-50 years old and Catherine always uses old oak for this wine from barrels previously used for at least 4 vintages of the Fontainerie vineyard wines.
With full southern aspect (hence the name burned hills), this is often one of the sweeter cuvées from the Domain, but this is very much a dry ("Sec") style, with just under 2g of residual sugar.

Tasting notes

Eye
Lightly golden.
Nose
Full nose, a touch woody.
Palate
It melts in the mouth in an evocation of candied fruits.

Pairing
Ready to take as a wife a Touraine Geline (hen) or a trout with wild mushrooms.

Domaine de la Fontainerie

Domaine de La Fontainerie has been faithful to tradition since 1712. This family vineyard is usually handed down from mother to daughter. Since 1990, Catherine DERUET DHOYE has had the pleasure of continuing the family tradition.

The different types of Vouvray are not produced every year, depending on the year's climate to achieve the best harmony.

Domaine de La Fontainerie offers highly distinctive wines, characterful Vouvray that are typical of their vintage and their terroir, and which have great ageing potential.
