Vintage Cellar Review: The cool climate
in the Vouvray appellation area insures good acidity, which is balanced by the
distinctly fruity character of the Chenin Blanc and the mineral qualities
imparted by the soil. Thanks to these natural elements, this Vouvray combines
elegance and vigor with honey dipped pears and an inherent freshness.
My Review: This wine was pale yellow and had some strong
aromas. The first thing which was detected was the presence of alcohol which I
didn’t enjoy very much. The more the wine breathed, the aroma of tropical and
pineapple came through which was much more pleasant. This wine tasted like
honeysuckle mixed with pear initially. As the wine transitioned to the after
taste from the mid palate, it brought on some more bitter characteristics like
a lemon lime drink.
Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at
the Vintage Cellar.
