The Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2022 is a bright, yellow gold colour. Intense nose, both floral and fruity (elderflower, pear, mirabelle). In the agitation the nose opens on notes of citrus (pomelo) and exotic fruit (pineapple, mango). The attack is very round, rich and fruity. Nice balance on fruit and freshness. Long finish on pineapple, notes of olfaction.
95 Points - The domaine of Marc Brédif is one of the most famous names in the Loire, renowned for the longevity and quality of his Vouvray. Established in 1893 under the name of Château les Roches it wasn't until 1919 when Marc Brédif took over from his uncle, that the name was changed to mark the change of ownership. The ethereal Chenin Blanc from Marc Brédif remains a benchmark for the region; delicious, nervy and vividly sketched when young it morphs into an infinitely complex wine with age taking on characters of dried honey, lanolin and calvados, still with that ceramic-like sheen of minerally acidity.
