Citrus peach and melon on the nose with a candied character. Beautiful white peach, pink grapefruit, honeydew and honeysuckle on the palate. Definite residual sugar but really nice acid to balance the wine nicely. Easy drinker.

Canned peaches, honey, figs, and apricots dominate the nose. Honey, white flowers and more honey control the palate as well. This Demi-sec Vouvray is counterbalanced well by racing acidity.

Layered wine, with the nose showing huge honey notes, canned peaches, white plum, dried sweet fruits, lemon meringue. Palate is predominant honey, apricot puree, sweet peach, all spice and orange. The wine comes off as off dry because the Chenin carries such high acidity.

A little young and a touch of matchstick. But the promise of a blousey fragrance and tender fruit make it fun and drinkable.
