Tight and crisp in the beginning but give it a little time, specially if too cold and the pretty ripe and baked apple aromas start to show adding to the already existing zing of lime, an added layer of honeysuckle and amazing balance and it’s a home run!

No new notes. Always wonderfully baked and bruised - apples and pear and cinnamon spice.

Pop and pour. Lovely. On the nose: soft lanolin, quince, lemon, marjoram. On the palate: fantastic acidity, lemon peel, quince, wet stone, tarragon and mint. A hi-toned finish. Very good already.

Beeswax nose. Honey, lime/citrus rind, pleasing acid/bitter undertone. Will drink well quite some time.

16.5/20 (90/100) Насыщенный и, одновременно, элегантный аромат с нотами цедры лимона, зеленого яблока и чуть незрелого абрикоса. Высокая кислотность, горчинка во вкусе, напоминающая шкурку персика. Довольно продолжительное послевкусие. Утонченное и узнаваемое Вувре.

Mild and a little dull Chenin Blanc. There is nothing wrong with it, but it is not exceptional.
