Following experience in Alsace and Burgundy, Bernard Fouquet founded his winery in the Loire in 1982, focusing on Chenin Blanc. Through trial and error, he mastered his terroir, and by the mid-late 1990s, Fouquet's wines gained international acclaim for their value. With a commitment to purity and stainless steel use, he seeks to express terroir characteristics: calcareous clay in dry and dessert wines, flint/silica in demi-sec and sparkling wines. Today, Fouquet's labels remain affordable yet rank among Vouvray's finest, regardless of price.
