Le Mont Demi-Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc

Now this is a Chenin Blanc I can get behind! Slightly aging brassy gold. Nose is so nice: sweet, oozing, bruised orchard fruit, a floral/tropical note. Sweat (but not stinky sweat). On the palate it’s terrific. Like fresh sweet slices of Anjou pear. A very slight oxidative note (but not enough to turn me off), and some bitter honey. Long finish.

Vintage age 2018 | yesterday tasted with Coravin, today with more air. That gives the wine an extra dimension - so eventually decant it. Smell: Turkish Fruit, hay, impression of honey and melon. Well balanced taste, well rounded taste ( in Dutch: mollig) high in bitters. Became a real treat with a sushibol as first course and Cantonese cabbage with shrimps afterwards.

Pale straw, heady aroma of white flowers - acacia, lime, juicy apricot, pineapple, white peach, white pepper, celery. High acidity, high alcohol. Full body. Long finish. 14%.

PVery nice wine! Balance is beautiful! Apples, Honey, white flowers, Pear, vanilla pudding, Cotton candy and minerals. Alc. 14%...like candy!

Crisp and smooth. Excellent

Excellent! Apple juice aromas. More apple on the palate with some honeysuckle notes. Perfect for grilled salmon on this summer like day in NJ.

Delicious with an Alinea lobster pot pie!

Perfect summer wine the slightest bit sweet but smooth because it’s a Demi sec but also perfectly balanced

Every bottle gets better for me.
