Wine Reviews
Manicured aromas of golden apple, honeysuckle and bread dough draw the nose along with a tinge of chamomile. Mineral-driven and balanced, the palate lures orchard fruit into a cove of river stone that is enhanced by bready acidity that lingers.
Chenin Blanc from Vouvray can be a terrific crowd-pleaser, as in this instance. Faintly floral aromas get it off to an appealing start, and flavors of orchard fruits are enhanced by a faint streak of wild honey that is counterbalanced by refreshing acidity. Vouvray would be much more popular if consumers could tell in advance how sweet the wine would taste—and if more renditions were just slightly off-dry like this delicious and versatile rendition.
