Vouvray Sec 2008
This apple-scented, mineral-edged, whistle-clean Chenin Blanc makes a perfect foil for the locally-made potted pork rillettes. It is a dangerous combination as both are very more-ish.
What others think of this wine...
Simon Hoggart - The Spectator October 2010 says:Thoroughly recommended... the Vouvray Sec 2008. This is made by Jean-Claude and Didier Aubert from the Chenin grape and it is just lovely. In some hands Chenin blanc can be thin and weedy, but this is plump and rich while being absolutely dry. Gorgeous as an aperitif, but also perfect for drinking with food.
