Marc Bredif Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2017

A brilliant pale gold colour. A fine bouquet full of the aromas of white flowers and yellow fruit (Pear William). One finds citrus notes on breathing (grapefruit). The attack is gentle with a lovely vivacity where one finds agreeable notes of grapefruit on the lingering finish. A lovely wine, ripe and refreshing.

The best Chenin Blancs from Vouvray are renowned for their longevity - lifespans of 20, 30 and even 50 years are not uncommon for the best examples from top producers.What do they taste like?  They're delicious, nervy and vividly sketched when young, and morph into an infinitely complex wine with age taking on characters of dried honey and baked apple pie!
