This is the ideal personification of Vouvray. The nose is alive with green apple, pear, white flowers, lime zest, mineral and chalk. The mouthfeel is dry, focused and vibrant with sharp acidity, a crystalline texture, and layers of citrus and saline notes that linger. Great in its youth with great aging potential. — 13 days ago

Beautiful dry sav blanc, and a fantastic value! Crisp, crystalline color with notes of green apple, sharp minerality, and a slight note of baked goods on the nose. Light bodied, with sharp crispness and acidity that tingles long after the first sip, with notes of lime rind, crisp green apple, white peach, and wet stone. The lime acid is very prominent! — 22 days ago

Presented to me blind at Tasting Group. The wine appears bright yellow with medium viscosity; no signs of sediment, gas or particles. On the nose, the wine is developing with ripe orchard fruit: stone fruits, lemons, white flowers, lanolin and minerals. On the palate the wine is off-dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and full of character. The alcohol is medium+. Initial conclusions: this could be Chenin Blanc, Riesling or Chardonnay from France, Germany or the United States. But I didn’t get any petrol so I eliminated Riesling and I don’t think you could get the balance of fruit and high acid from California Chardonnay (and the oak would probably be so pronounced). So I called Chenin Blanc from France, from the Loire, Vouvray Demi-Sec. Well…I should have known this could be Joly! Close…but some miles away from each other and I’d like to have the confidence to call producer in this case. Drink now through 2034. — 2 months ago

Bruised apples, touch of honey, first hints of oxidation, dry finish.
Not very complex, but tasty all the same.
