Vouvray?

[Kcwhippet]

The Marc Bredif Vouvray is a sec, almost bordering on demi-sec because there's just a tiny hint of sweetness. We tried this in the shop recently and I thought it was a wonderful wine. It had a really intense nose and the palate had pear, lemon and some honey notes, with some very crisp acid. One of the best things was NO OAK, so you really got the taste of the grape brought out by the winemaker's skill. I understand the winery changed hands recently, though I don't recall who bought it. It remains to be seen if they'll maintain their style. I sure hope so because this was a really delicious wine. BTW, the distributor mentioned that this wine can age well for at least five years, and up to twenty with perfect storage.
