Description
In a nutshell:
Imagine sun-drenched orchard fruits, a hint of honey sweetness, and a refreshingly zesty finish - that's the magic of this off-dry Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley, a true taste of France's finest.
The lowdown:
This Loire Valley white has a charming mix of freshness and sweet ripeness. Aromas of walnuts, lime, and melon offer a delightful introduction. Made entirely from Chenin Blanc, the grapes were hand-picked for the ideal sugar level necessary for a demi-sec style. Honeyed apple flavours shine on the palate, perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity. The sweetness never cloys, creating a refreshing, medium-bodied wine with surprising depth and a satisfyingly long finish. A lovely example of Vouvray's unique ability to craft nuanced off-dry wines.
The Producer:
Boutinot, the guys responsible for this wine, is a big name in the UK's wine scene and are behind many labels seen on shelves up and down the country. Paul Boutinot kicked things off in 1980, starting with importing wines and soon partnering with winemakers around the globe. They've since gone on to produce their own wines from places like the Rhône Valley, Italy, South Africa and many other places. Their secret is in backing passionate winemakers who aren't afraid to push the envelope, always aiming for wines that really capture the essence of their regions. This, along with providing excellent value for money, is something they've really nailed.
When to drink:
This off-dry white wine, with its subtle sweetness, is delicious chilled and would pair nicely with a creamy goat's cheese, a piece of flaky smoked mackerel, or even a lightly spiced Asian stir-fry.
