Philippe Foreau Domaine du Clos Naudin Vouvray Sec, Loire, France 2019 Ronco del Gnemiz all framed by brisk acidsWhen Foreau issues a "Sec" (and the decision to do so relates entirely to the vintage conditions and the composition of the grapes at harvest), the wine can carry from one to two grams of residual sugar but never more than 6 grams. Because of the vibrant acidity that accompanies these wines, the sensation one experiences is of drinking a scintillatingly dry wine, although one with considerable body and a honeyed texture.
