Tasting: Dom du Margalleau Vouvray Sec


•Name- Dom du Margalleau Vouvray Sec
•Variety- Chenin Blanc
•Region- Loire Valley
•Country- France
•Year- 2009
•Price- $14.95
•Shop/wine critic/winery review- Beautiful perfume of honey and fresh, juicy lemon which lifts from the glass. The palate is rich, fresh, textured and has concentrated lemon and honey flavours with a stony edge. The finish is very long and perfumed.
•Your review- I was very intrigued by this wine from looking at the label as well as reading the description that was provided. Upon first pouring the glass was a very beautiful golden color with some hints of other colors that gave it a very interesting appearance. After swirling it, the aromas of this wine became very evident very quickly. I was able to locate the smell of lemon and honey, but also was getting some other citrus elements that were quite enjoyable. Upon tasting I was able to locate similar flavors on the tongue just like those in the nose. The citrus and lemony flavors really came through on the taste. This was a good wine and I would love to have it again.


I did not have food with this wine.
