Vouvray Demi-Sec: Clos de la Meslerie (Hahn), 2016; Domaine du Clos Naudin (Foreau), 2016

Tasting 27 November. Pairing #3

Classic Vouvray, Classy Wines
by Dick Sard

Many consider Demi Sec to be the most classic expression of Chenin Blanc, and both of these bottles are great examples of this. Stylistically different, similar to the Sec comparison of Pairing #2, in this case, the pleasure of drinking these well made, user friendly wines made both very enjoyable to drink now - with or without food. And with additional age, both should continue to evolve, develop, and improve. When revisited a day later, the Foreau, still somewhat closed during the tasting, showed more pronounced acidity and a sharper finish.
