Honey, vanilla bean, lemon rind, & lime on the nose. Honey & candies lemon up front. High acidity. Tart citrus & mineral finish. Not what I’d expect from a Vouvray Chenin Blanc. Not nearly as off-dry as I expected, nor the amount of honey and stone fruit that I expect, but not bad.

A lovely and complete wine. Layers of citrus fruit (typically don’t get that from chenin), quince and deep minerality. Typically not a huge fan of the limestone & tuffeau but it works in this case.
