2017 Vouvray Spring

Carême's négociant wine made only partially from organic grapes, but all the grapes are grown sustainably. Smells of uncooked quince and a light chalk dustiness. Very pretty, packed with early apples and juicy nectarines. Mouth-wateringly crisp and zinging with acidity. And then there is a minerality, like rolling little shiny pebbles in your mouth, and in the finish, the shiny pebbles are still there, under a shaving of lemon zest. VGV (TC) (JR)
