This lovely dry Vouvray, with its deep yellow color and orange highlights, is a complex white wine that opens with notes of toasted hazelnuts and licorice. As it breathes, the minerality of the limestone comes through, releasing notes of tuffeau stone and cold coffee. Rich on the palate, it unfolds flavors of honey and acacia, with a creamy, vanilla-tinged finish… Pair it with a scallop risotto!

A complex nose and a well-structured, flavorful palate—very typical of Chenin. A truly lovely bottle.
