| 75 | | | 91 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Bernard Fouquet is esteemed as one of the principal winemakers of Vouvray, in the Loire Valley, enclosing France’s longest river. Vouvray is all about the Chenin Blanc grape, a grape that often gets no respect in America. But if the naysayers could just taste these wines! This sparkling wine is medium-bodied with persistent tiny bubbles and a medium pale yellow straw color. On the nose, the aroma of honey and white fruits provides a fine introduction to the wine. Fleshy, ripe fruit flavors with slight ginger and exotic spice notes in the finish govern the palate, and good, crisp acidity lends substantial backbone to this well-balanced wine. The mousse seems to continue in the mouth, as the pétillance (sparkle) has a good bit of verve and spirit. Pure delight and a great value. Foods: boiled peanuts; Ikura (salmon caviar) on lightly salted potato chips and Mexican cream; sushi; dim sum; taramosalata; sweetwater fish delicately prepared and lightly sauced; baked scallops with a creamy sauce and mashed potatoes; chicken breast roasted atop a bed of thinly sliced onions and garlic; Asian poultry and seafood dishes; chicken salad; sautéed soft-shell crab; crab cakes; king crab legs with drawn butter, creamy full-flavored cheeses (goat brie).
