Vouvray Sec Chenin Blanc

Golden apple, mandarin peel, white flowers, and honey. Pretty simple, but really lovely. Perfect combo of sugar and acid

Many previous 375ml were showing a lot of vinousity. This bottle was delightful and an excellent foil for a vege based dinner with beets.

Apr 3rd, 2022Ripe, sweet pear & white peach, with hint of flint & whiff of white flowers.
On the palate this is broad & rich yet with layers of yellow fruit, a dab of honey and a mineral side - and nicely balanced with quince acidity.
Shows a bit of heat in the finish but overall this is a very nice & food-friendly wine.
Shame it’s so difficult to find good dry Chenin Blanc from the Loire outside of France.

A bit one-dimensional and linear but thoroughly enjoyable. Ripe peaches and blanched almonds. Clean and nicely balanced with a mineral accent toward the finish.

Har förvisso druckit godare chenins från Loire men en fin försommardag som denna kan man inte klaga på frukterna i denna. Småpartierna. Panache.
