B-21 Top Recommendation

Over his many decades at the renowned Domaine de Aubuisieres, Bernard Fouquet has done as much as anyone to define the Vouvray appellation on the world stage, and the wines have long been fan-favorite best-sellers at B-21. Having entered retirement in 2023, Fouquet handed his treasured domaine to a new generation of talent in winemaker Charles Lesaffre, who continues Fouquet's excellent track record for quality and value.
We've cultivated quite the fanbase for the domaine's entry-level Cuvée de Silex, and after a recent tasting of the newly arrived 2023 vintage, we can confidently say it's another value standout that will thrill long-time fans. Made from 60-year-old vines on ... you guessed it, silex soils, the 2023 conveys its terroir in exceptional fashion. Flinty and mineral to the core, the profile is also imbued with approachably ripe, exotic fruits that make a true crowd-pleaser and cuisine friendly pairing in every sense. Not often do we find benchmark examples with top-tier pedigree for under $20, but the 2023 Cuvée de Silex more than maintains the world-class value reputation that has made it such an admired wine for our clients over the years. |
