Review (Timeless Wines):
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 half-dry Vouvray combines elegance and vigor with sweetness and an inherent freshness.
Mechanical and hand harvest, destemming, pneumatic pressing, static settling of the must at low temperature for 24 hours, fermentation at the cellar temperature (12°C/54°F) for 1/2 month, aging in vats, two rackings, stirring once a week during 1 month, filtration, bottling in September.
Chicken, fish, Asian Food, Desert with strawberry and raspberry.

My Review: The color of this wine was a bit light and I was not able to get much from the nose. The taste was great - crisp apples and a bit of grass. It was sweet but tart as well with a little lighter than medium body.
