This is a poised, complex and nuanced chenin blanc with well meshed quince, honey and herbal notes, and some papery...
Clean, classically flavoured and proportioned example of Vouvray here, with a pinch of sugar (in a sec-tender style)...

This wine is 100% Chenin Blanc grapes with fermentation in stainless steel tanks and alcohol coming in at 13%. This wine is light gold in color and opened up with aromas of apple peals, lemon, pears, honeysuckle and light floral notes. On the mouthfeel, medium bodied, off-dry with a rich texture and bright zippy acidity. Very good length on the finish, almost creamy with loads of energy and honey coated lemon flavours lingering.
Chenin Blanc may be well loved by sommelier and connoisseurs but almost unknown otherwise, is well worth seeking out for its endless pairing possibilities (linguini in a cream sauce, seafood and roast chicken) and age ability. A classic and very enjoyable Chenin Blanc, strongly recommended. Enjoyed on January 18, 2013.

A touch of sweetness well balances the acidity. Fresh, fruity, mouthwatering.
