The Vouvray's of Huet are my most often opened white wine. 100% Chenin Blanc. This vintage seems to be not a top vintage but the wine is still excellent and a nice value. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with pears, sea air, some orange peel and slight herbal note. Medium bodied. Slightly oily texture. Crisp acidity. On the palate, this is dry (Sec) with pears and slight citrus. Moderate finish. This improved over the three hours it took to drain the bottle (two people). It should drink well for the next ten to fifteen years. Nice on its own, it is very
Always a great value in white wine. These wines come in a variety of sweetness levels with the Sec being the driest. It is a wine that should do at least ten years if well cellared. Mineral driven with crushed shells and also a hint of orange peel. Great on its own or with sea food or lighter meals. Highly recommended.
This is a dry (Sec) Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley in France. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with tangerines, sea air, baked apples and char. Full bodied. Good acidity. Very nice slightly oily texture. On the palate, green apples with an interesting chervil note. Long finish. This is still young but drinking well. Nice on its own, this is also very food friendly. It would pair nicely with pork chops. Drink over the next ten years.
