Tasting: Les Clos Francs Vouvray Chenin Blanc

Name: Les Clos Francs Vouvray Chenin Blanc

Variety: Chenin Blanc

Region: Loire Valley

Country: France

Year: 2013

Price: $21

Winery Review: The cool climate in the Vouvray appellation area insures good acidity, which is balanced by the distinctly 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: I loved the light, pleasant and sweet smell of this fine. It is a fine, light and smooth wine. I enjoyed the fruity taste of this fine and will definitely try it again.
