Notes of honey, yellow apple, cat pee, citrus blossom, and lemon curd. Unctuous, with bright acidity, and mild nuttiness on the palate. Delicious! — 5 years ago

Exactly what I like from a sparkling Vouvray, very light, refreshing and mineral-driven without getting too funky — 5 months ago
A very nice sparkling wine with a nice dry finish. An apple on the pallet with a pear finish. Very nice on a summer evening. — 3 years ago
first and foremost was NOT expecting the orange color ~ have had numerous aged botrytis bottles ranging from golden to brown but the orange really threw me
apricot, quince, orange marmalade, grilled orange & pineapple, honey, caramelized brown sugar ~ plenty of sweet severed with acidity
though went well with diver scallops & risotto the most incredible pairing was with Stilton on Égalité mini toasts ~ and not just for flavor ~ but texturally transcendental — 5 years ago

I decided that lunch with family at a terrific restaurant was a fitting setting for my last bottle of 1997 Pinon Vouvray Cuvée Tradition, a wine that has seen so many family celebrations through the years, and it again performed admirably. This bottle is probably a little past peak, showing a little oxidation, but Chenin handles a little oxidation pretty well as the honeyed stone fruit and minerals seem to absorb it. With the sec tendre sweetness and still lively acidity, it is made for food, and paired brilliantly with a range of inventive and delicious dishes focused on seafood and vegetables, though it worked with a raw beef dish just as well. The wine may be gone, but the memories of it will last for a long time. — 9 years ago
