Winery Direct Review:
Vouvray, Loire Valley France – Bottled by Jean Claude Bougrier at his Loire
Estate, this Vouvray is medium-bodied. Rich flavors of cream and hazelnut
contribute to the slight sweetness that is balanced out by acidity. Excellent
with Fontina Cheeses and Fruit.
My Review: This
was a very aromatic wine. I noted scents of pear and lemon. The color was a
translucent golden color. I served the
wine chilled which made it very refreshing on a hot afternoon. I consider this
to be a semi-dry wine with a hint of citrus and slightly nutty flavor. The
acids in the wine balance it out nicely with the sweetness. I would consider
this white wine to be a medium bodied wine.
I tried the wine with Gouda cheese. This cheese was a very nice
compliment and the wine gave the cheese a creamy feel and slightly nutty
flavor. I really enjoyed white wine and
felt it had a lot of personality with its fruity and nutty tastes. I would
definitely recommend this refreshing wine on a hot summer day!
