Champalou, Vouvray 2015, Loire, France
Tasting Note: A solid, well-made, Loire-Valley chenin blanc.
Lemon-to-gold in color, this wine has a nose of pear, green apple, lemon citrus peel and honeysuckle.
On the palate the dry, light-to-medium-bodied chenin blanc has medium-flavor intensity with some notes of minerality and limestone.
This wine is medium in acidity with a lemon-citrus-infused finish.
Bottle Note: Sustainable farming.
