“The dress is bright, luminous, deep yellow color with gold reflections. The nose is harmonious with aromas of ripe white fruit (apple, pear, banana) enhanced by smoky notes, toasted with a melted woody note. The soft mouth offers the sweetness of a gourmet material and lots of fat. The woody dimension fits nicely into the whole. The combination of the citrus freshness, the softness of the fabric and the minerality of the structure brings this wine a remarkable balance. Nice Vouvray, supple, mineral and fruity »
