Famille Bougrier, Vieilles Vignes Grande Réserve Vouvray V 2015, Loire, France
Tasting Note: A Vouvray made in an off-dry style with an enjoyable, ripe-fruit character.
Medium-intensity lemon in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of white nectarine, banana, green pear, starfruit and blossom.
On the palate the off-dry, medium-plus-bodied chenin blanc is creamy in texture supported by medium acidity and completing with a ripe-green-apple-infused, medium-plus finish.
There is some midpalate complexity and persistence of flavor.
Will please a wine nerd and her aunt.
