Compared with the wines from the famous Domaine Huet property, Foreau's Vouvrays are less round and rich but very pure, rather lean, vital, straightforward and focused on the palate, with a persistent finish that is always brillant and full of mineral tension. An apricot fruit character is another distinctive mark of Foreau's wines, which by the way are never chaptalized or de-acidified. Philippe Foreau: 'I am striving for wines which are pure, typical in their aromas, show finesse, elegance, balance and a persistent aftertaste. For me this is the tableau d'un grand grand vin.
