Tasting: Les Clos Francs Vouvary

Name: Les Clos Francs Vouvray
Variety: Chenin Blanc
Region: Loire Valley
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: $21

Shop Review: The cool climate in the Vouvray appellation area insures good acidity, which is balanced by the distinctly fruity character of the Chenin Blanc and the mineral qualities imparted by the soil. Thanks to these natural elements, this Vouvray combines elegance and vigor with honey dipped pears and an inherent freshness.

My Review: The strong scent of pineapples and citrus fruits fill the nose. With the first taste of the wine you're hit in the face with the bold intensity of the tannins. Tannins are so strong that any flavors the wine may have are completely blocked out.
