Famille Bourgier Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2021

Family run since 1885, Famille Bougrier works widely across the Loire with a steady focus on clean, value led wines that show regional clarity. This Vouvray 2021 is 100% Chenin Blanc from tuffeau influenced slopes around the appellation, vinified to emphasise freshness and definition. Fermentation is conducted cool in stainless steel to protect primary fruit and line, with residual sugar carefully managed so the wine registers as sec. A period on fine lees builds mid palate texture without introducing oak, keeping the profile crisp and transparent to site. In the glass it is bright and poised, opening with quince, apple and citrus backed by light floral hints. The palate is sleek and evenly weighted, acidity neat and supportive, and a chalky mineral thread guides the shape. The finish is fresh, dry and clean, making this a versatile Loire white for fish, soft cheeses and light poultry, and a clear expression of Bougrier’s disciplined approach in the cellar and long familiarity with Vouvray’s limestone soils.
