Wine 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.
Personal Review: I picked up a very rich strawberry aroma at the nose that was greatly enhanced by aerating the wine. This strawberry aroma really jumped out of the wine glass and into my nose; almost bubbly it was so rich in these fruity aromas. My initial impression led me to notice a very pleasant apple flavor that was sustained through the mid pallet and finish.
Note: I did not consume this wine with food.
