Tasting - Les Clos Francs Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2013 - Feb. 11, 2016







Name: Domaine Sylvian Gaudron Les Clos Franc Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2013
Variety: Chenin Blanc
Country: Loire Valley, France
Year: 2013
Price: $21

Winery Review: The cool climate in the Vouvray appellation area insues good acidity, which is balanced by the distinctively fruity character of the Chenin Blanc and the mineral qualities imparted by the soil. Thanks to these natural elements, this Vouvray combines elegance and vigor with honey dipped pears and an inherent freshness.

My Review: This wine also lead me to be more open to the white wines. I thought it had a very similar smell to the previous Chardonnay but with a little less 'umph' in the flower department. The taste was also very nice with a very enjoyable middle pallet that really caught my attention. All in all a decent wine.
