Tasting notes
According to Vincent Foreau, 2016 was a “superb, electric vintage”—and the 2016 Vouvray Demi Sec more than lives up to that description. It opens with a vibrant, dynamic bouquet of pineapple, passion fruit, herbs, spices and confit citrus. Medium- to full-bodied, the palate is mineral-driven, laced with iodine and energized by bright acidity that balances its 20 grams of residual sugar with remarkable finesse. Fleshy yet vivid, this is undoubtedly one of the finest demi-secs I have ever tasted. Kudos indeed.

The 2016 Demi-Sec is absolutely delectable and impeccably balanced. Tender and succulent at first, offering exotic mango-like fruit flavors, the naturally lithe acidity carries this wine through while the tropical fruit coats the mouth, leaving a heady fragrance. This is a wine to enjoy for its suave yet athletic frame.
