Tasting Notes

It's very hard not to love Chenin: this one has a powerful yet elegant structure on the palate, it's bracing and mineral. On the nose it's very floral, with hints of ripe white fruits and almonds. This is the perfect wine to pair with grilled fish, cheeses and salads.

Critical Praise

The Gendron family has lived and worked in Vouvray since the time of Louis XVI. Obviously their winemaking techniques have evolve since then, but fermentations still happen with the utmost patience in their underground cellars. The fruit for this wine comes from a plot called 'Le Clos Cartaud', a very picturesque vineyard with a beautiful lodge that Philippe, the owner, always shows very proudly to visitors.
