Wine rated (2026 guide) 93/100
Rated estate (2026 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
Vincent Foreau has taken over from his father Philippe on these 11.5 hectares, which will be certified organic in 2024. The dry wines, with their vibrant citrus zest finishes, become more refined with age. A vertical tasting dating back to 1947 demonstrates their ability to stand the test of time. The sweet wines are fantastic for their dense texture, supported by just the right tension, and the latest vintages of these gastronomic wines have incredible depth. A fifth star is well deserved.

About wine:
In half-body, the 2024 dry wine offers a chiseled straightforwardness.
About the estate:
When tasting Philippe Foreau's Vouvrays, everything becomes clear and legible in the Chenin; what is complex is also delicious, what is ripe remains taut, and what is precociously good is confirmed and amplified over the decades. Pure, long on the palate, with proverbial persistence, Clos Naudin's Vouvrays are as regular as a metronome despite the variations in the Loire climate. The perruches (clay and flint soils) give the estate's wines their distinctive character, equally at ease in sweet and dry wines; even the sparkling wines are made with extreme care. The style is often quite rich, more baroque than at the Huet estate, and no less powerful in its lingering finish. The latest vintages have been brilliantly crafted by Vincent, Philippe Foreau's son. A bright future lies ahead for this Vouvray estate.
