Tasting Notes:
The nose is expressive, with hallmark aromas of green apple, wet wool, and crushed chalk, offering a glimpse into its fresh, mineral character. On the palate, the wine is clean and nervy, with a lively thread of acidity that enhances its crisp, refreshing qualities. Precise orchard fruit flavours, including ripe white fruit and citrus notes, build through the palate, creating a mouthwatering, moreish finish. With its vibrant acidity and balanced complexity, this Vouvray Sec is a perfect match for a range of dishes, from seafood and cheeses to roast white meats. The 12 months of aging in 400-litre barrels adds depth, refining its precision and structure.
