uncovering the individualist, iconoclast, leader, follower, imitator, trend-setter, inspired and independent; the whore, slut, prude, effeminate, delicate, and luxurious; the animal, the gruff, the masculine, and the muscle-flexing; the smooth, the rough, the balanced and unbalanced, the harmonious and unharmonious, the reserved and outspoken, the adamant and uncertain and the confused; and the simple-minded, homogenous, insipid, and uninspired; in the expression of wine.

Domaine des Aubuisières



Vintage: 2008
Producer: Domaine des Aubuisières
Appellation: Vouvray
Cuvée : Cuvée de Silex

On My Palate:

Apple, smoky, flint, touch of sweetness, and the Loire Valley staple acidity.

The Dregs:

Bernard Fouquet. Lauded as one of the Vouvray’s top producers.

Very Reminiscent of a Mosel Kabinett. I would have liked a bit more fat and wet wool Chenin funk, but now I’m knocking Bernard’s honest efforts for something more over the top—clearly not his style.

Where:

Loire Valley wine tasting around the granite island in the kitchen at Pierre’s house in Encinitas.
