Note di degustazione
More spicy than the 2015 but with those similar ripe-sour fruit aromas. Pure Chenin. This is where sweet and sour reaches a glorious balance rather than clashing (as on off-dry Sauvignon Blanc). As well as all that intense fruit there’s a smoky note and then a gorgeous flavour of mandarin on the palate and a long super-fresh finish. (JH)

Intensely yellow in color, the 2014 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Demi-Sec offers a very clear, intense and aromatic bouquet of ripe yellow fruits along with crushed stone flavors. The Demi-Sec version is even more open than the Sec, and the attack on the palate is lovely, round and fruit-intense, but also very mineral and firmly structured in the finish. This is a very elegant and mouth-filling Chenin with great finesse and a lingering salinity. It has good and grippy length. This wine is dangerously accessible already, though with an aging potential of 20-30, probably more years. The 20 grams per liter of residual sugar tastes quite sweet at the moment.
