Very nice! Chalky earthy nose, with spring flowers and quince. Lean, linear, and very minerally on the nose. Crisp, and bone dry. Long finish. Bubbles dissipate fairly quickly, leaving behind a nice still dry Vouvray.

Very pleasant surprise. A touch of smokiness along with baked apple. Amazing value.
