"Peach yogurt and orange blossom aromas give this a sunny character. There is something reminiscent of sour milk on the nose, but it's not unpleasant. The touch of residual sugar on the palate lends a lovely ...

"This wine is marked by a delicate and complex nose of ripe golden apple, peach stone, dried herbs, tidal pool, and powdery minerals. On tasting, more orchard flavors emerge in the wine’s full body and culminate with savory tone of river stones."

"Produced by Alexandre Monmousseau, scion of a distinguished local family, this wine is ripe, full-bodied and splendidly rich. Just getting ready to drink, the wine is generous and full of dried apple and peach flavors. Good now, it will age well, certainly until 2025. - ROGER VOSS"

"The 2022 Vouvray is more serious, with classic Chenin dried hay, quince, and mineral notes in a medium-bodied, beautifully balanced, elegant style. It's concentrated, has good acidity, and a clean finish."

Pair with French fries, pork medallions and latkes. — Reggie Solomon"
