Description
91 points Wine Spectator
"Beeswax and honeyed chamomile tea notes frame the core of glazed pear and nectarine in this broad-shouldered white. Shows hints of sweetness midpalate, but the acidity cuts through quickly and delivers a mineral-laced finish. Drink now through 2028. 1,200 cases made, 470 cases imported."
Vinous Reverie Notes
Tasting Notes: This wine displays a lovely pale yellow hue with golden tints. The rich, intense nose is both floral, with notes of lime blossom, and fruity, with a hint of quince. These are followed by an array of oaky aromas with vanilla nuances. On the palate, this Vouvray’s sweetness is immediately apparent, revealing notes of vanilla which give way to a lovely freshness on the finish. Food Pairing: Excellent with foie gras, veal rounds, acacia flower beignets, caramel custard, tarte tatin, poached peaches. After a few years ageing it will pair nicely with white meats and poultry.
