Tasting - Les Clos Francs Vouvray

Name: Les Clos Francs
Variety: Vouvray
Region: Loire Valley
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: $21.00

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: This wine has a very strong nose with a mixed variety of grapes and cut apples. The initial taste is very strong and stings the nose as it goes down. The finish stays on the palate. I would recommend eating something heavy after drinking this wine or drinking another wine to clear the palate.

This was tasted without food
