Something of a living legend, Philippe tends to 12 hectares of vineyards in the northeastern sector of Vouvray. His plots of vines, the two main ones being “les Perruches” and “les Ruettes”, are farmed according to organic principles. The grapes are hand harvested meticulously in several “tries”, or passes, harvesting each portion of the vineyard at its optimal ripeness. The overall house style focuses on crystalline clarity and supreme age-ability.
Sparkling wines account for half of Philippe's production. Made from 100% Chenin Blanc, the Foreau Méthode Traditionnelle Brut spent 4 years sur lie ageing prior to disgorgement.
