Grapes: 100% Chenin Blanc

This Parker 95pt wine is a longtime Perry's favorite and simply a superb holiday aperitif and food wine. Vouvray just works perfectly for holiday foods. Aromatic enough to work with all the flavors and with enough acidity to cut through them all. Utterly delicious.

As per the big man: "The deep brown clay soils of the Haut-Lieu plateau provide the typical fruitiness and freshness wonderfully in Huet's Vouvray. Ripe pear, tangerine and orange fruits with notes of lemon grass and green pimientos intertwined with very fine chalky and later tobacco notes give a remarkably fine, elegant and harmonious, subtly complex and simply gorgeous bouquet with floral (lime blossom!) and yeasty aromas that are immediately attractive. Delicate and linear on the palate, this is a pure, fresh, bone-dry, lean and textured, highly refined and perfectly interwoven Chenin with persistent purity, finesse, salty-mineral tension and very fine tannins. This is a chalky picture-book Haut-Lieu that can age for many years, even though it is already dangerously seductive! A terrific and buoyant Vouvray that any Chenin lover should try—or, better yet, cellar!"
