Vouvray Sec: Clos de la Meslerie (Hahn), 2013; Domaine du Clos Naudin (Foreau), 2016

Written By Ian J. Cohn

Tasting 27 November. Pairing #2

A great comparison of wine making styles
by Dick Sard

 

Both displayed a distinctive mineral nose and crisp acidity on the palate, characteristics of the Chenin grape that make both wines exceptionally food friendly: the Hahn is more forward, ready to drink now; the Foreau somewhat closed, is a more complex and still quite young wine, vinified to evolve over time. If you plan to drink in the near term, we’d suggest decanting or opening it well in advance to allow the wine to more fully express itself.
