Vouvray is typically 100% Chenin Blanc, though some can contain small amounts of Arbois. They are less popular now than they have been in the, which is a shame because they are quite tasty generally.
This one comes from Marechal, which unfortunately I was not able to find any real information on via the Internet. It was not as crisp as some, being somewhat more reminiscent of a chardonnay - sort of "fat" feeling in the mouth.
On the nose there was a lot of herb and flower overtones which carried over into the palate along with ultra-ripe melon and some chalky mineral notes. It is listed as 12% ABV but it was fairly sweet even at that. Not a bad wine by any stretch, but not that great either.
Allison didn't like it at all, while I thought it was okay. We probably won't buy it again.
