We now have a list of the wines for Philippe's 'Real wine' tasting and dinner. All of the wines will either be from biodynamic or organic producers. Philippe is the the sales manager/wine buyer from Les Caves de Pyrene, one of the UK's most adventurous and exciting wine importers.
Sparkling Vouvray Brut, Pierre and Catherine Breton
The Bretons are best known for their Bourgueils and Chinons but are now making Vouvray from grapes grown for them under contract.
Whites:
2007 Muscadet-de-Sèvre-et-Maine, Clos des Allées, Pierre Luneau
Pierre is widely admired as one of Muscadet's top producers.
2007 Vouvray, Catherine and Pierre Breton
Jim was very impressed with this at the recent Les Caves de P tasting
2006 Saumur Blanc, Domaine du Collier, Antoine Foucault
Antoine is the son of Charly – one of the famous Foucault brothers – and is making some stunning whites.
2007 'Akmenine', Sancerre, Domaine Sebastien Riffault
Sebastien Riffault is a young producer with a growing reputation in Sury-en-Vaux. His Sancerres could, however, be described as 'challenging'.
