- TASTING NOTE: Classic vintage for dry Vouvray yielding wines of perfume, finesse and lip-smacking freshness. Aromas of pear candied fruit and spice with hints of honey and that distinctive chalkiness that is so typical of great Vouvray. Fine, brilliantly focused flavours with exceptional texture and length. Whilst this wine an be enjoyed young for its freshness, it will also age superbly for many years with careful cellaring.
- ABOUT THE WINE: Vinification in stainless steel tanks at low temperature with 10% in old barrels. Wine aged on fine lees for 6 months before bottling.
