Ackerman Vouvray Pétillant Tête de Cuvée Brut

Appearance: A pale, delicate gold with fine, persistent bubbles that bring an elegant liveliness to the glass, characteristic of a well-crafted sparkling wine.

Aroma: The nose opens with fresh aromas of green apple, pear, and quince, typical of Chenin Blanc. Floral notes of white blossoms mingle with subtle hints of citrus zest and a touch of almond, adding complexity to the bouquet. Light mineral nuances come through, evoking the chalky soils of Vouvray.

Palate: On the palate, it’s crisp and refreshing, with a beautifully structured mousse that fills the mouth without overpowering. The primary flavors of green apple and lemon are joined by notes of fresh brioche and a faint hint of honey, adding a pleasant richness. The mineral backbone gives the wine a refined edge, balancing the vibrant acidity perfectly.

Finish: Clean and lingering, with a satisfying dryness and a soft citrus finish that invites another sip. The combination of fruit, floral, and mineral elements leaves a lasting impression of finesse and balance.

Overall: Ackerman Vouvray Pétillant Tête de Cuvée Brut is an excellent example of a Loire sparkling Chenin Blanc. Its balance of freshness, fruit, and minerality makes it a versatile choice for pairing with seafood, light appetizers, or even on its own as an aperitif. A refined sparkling wine that captures the elegance of Vouvray’s terroir.
