Francois Chidaine has strong feelings about viticulture and works his vines based on an old world standard. He does not want any mention of organic viticulture on his bottles, although he is certified organic.

This wine is rich and long with enough structure to balance the residual sugar in this styled Vouvray. It’s deep gold in color with a greenish tinge. This delicious, lightly demi-sec Vouvray grows  more complex after about an hour.  This wine has notes of fig, tart pear, tangerine and apples with touch of allspice that concludes with a ruby grapefruit finish. It’s young and simply awesome!  In 3-5 years I’ll come back to this wine to experience it’s true enjoyment, because this is a wine that will last 20+ years.  In the Vouvray class I would rate this wine a solid AA.
