Look, we’ve poured Jacques Dumont’s Sauvignon Blancs at Restaurant Nicholas and Barrel & Roost for years. We’ve offered his Sancerre and his Loire Valley Sauvignon in our emails too. It’s one of those wines that never lets you down – staff favorite, customer favorite, consistent quality vintage after vintage. So when Jacques called to tell me he was making his first-ever Vouvray, I’ll be completely honest with you: I was a little… skeptical.
Why mess with a good thing?!? At least I thought. Then I tasted the wine and was legitimately blown away.
