Vouvray Chenin Blanc Demi-Sec (Sweet)Domaine du Petit Coteau

This Vouvray from the Loire region in France is made from 100% Chenin Blanc grapes. This off-dry Vouvray is a soft wine with good balance between the high acidity of the grape and the residual sugar. It’s spicy, fragrant and full of rounded, rich notes of melon, nectarine, and red apple. It’s not complex, but it’s aromatic and inviting, with a pleasing sense of depth. Perfect as an aperitif, with salads, fish and white meats, and spicy oriental foods!

Chenin Blanc, also called Pineau de la Loire, has been grown in the Loire Valley for more than a thousand years.  It is also grown in South Africa and the United States but it achieves its best expression in the 100 mile area of the Loire Valley between Blois and Savennières. These finicky, late-ripening grapes are usually harvested around the middle of October and can be vinifed in a range of styles from austere, mineral, and refreshing to rich, honey-sweet, and even sparkling.

Wine Enthusiast Rating 85| September 2008. “Made in an off-dry style with fresh almond and grapefruit flavors and some good intensity. From biologically grown fruit, this shows crispness and a light edge of tannin. Give it a couple of years. —
