Sauvion Vouvray (75cl, 12.5%)

Sauvion Vouvray is a 100% Chenin Blanc white wine from the Vouvray appellation in the Loire Valley, bottled at 750ml with an ABV of approximately 12.5%. It is produced by Sauvion, a Loire Valley négociant-producer. The wine is fermented in neutral vessels such as stainless steel, without malolactic fermentation, and aged in traditional limestone cellars carved from tuffeau rock. The nose brings acacia, honeysuckle, pear, baked apple and honey; the palate shows ripe pear, honey, medium body, lively acidity, dried fruit and mineral nuances; and the finish is long, with honeycomb, citrus pith and a faint mineral quality.
