Shop 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: The color of this wine was a surprise: a very light shade of gold, so light that it was almost clear. A pleasant aroma of apples and pears was present. I also thought there was a faint smell of lavender. There was just a hint of heat coming through the mid palate where you could taste the alcohol as well as where there was taste of the tannins. The body was very light with a smooth finish. This was tasted without food.
