Green apple, grapefruit, with a slight hint of honey taste. Crisp and not too sweet.

Very delightful. Recommend with a light meal or by itself. Don't be thrown off by it's fruitiness, it's not sweet just full off soft rounded fruit.

I enjoyed this with some salmon... I was out of Riesling & selected this Vouvray. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Bright acidity, very fruit-forward with lots of green apple, pear, & maybe just a hint of ginger or fig. Very floral nose - maybe peach blossoms? Light minerality, if any. Much less dry than I anticipated, which I liked. It was very refreshing & would be great to chill with as a nice, summer evening wine.

Nice and cool, and doesn't attack your tastebuds the way some people might stereotype French wines to do - nice and juicy fruit taste that coats the mouth on a wonderful bouquet. Brings it home with a slight green apple finish. Splendid!
