Coteau Chatrie Vouvray Demi-Sec 2010

Coteau Chatrie Vouvray Demi-Sec 2010

  • After the success of the Sec over the past six months we are thrilled to offer a Demi - you could argue that it is half as good again!
  • You'll have the option to take a couple of different routes when looking to get the most out of this belter...
  • Either partner with a selection of cheeses - local goat's cheese or anything blue will work exceptionally well - or bake a lovely pear dessert.

Top winemaker (and bloke) Vincent Boutin is the man behind this superb cuvée and where so many others fail, he succeeds. Delivering a wine that not only offers the personification of a natural balance between sweet and tart, but maintains a direct relationship with the soil the grapes come from through precise minerality.

Clos du Gaimont Vouvray Demi Sec

Clos du Gaimont Vouvray Demi Sec 2008 French White Wine

Type: Chenin Blanc

An insanely good super-clean and refreshing Vouvray Demi Sec from the brilliant Francois Chainier that cannot fail to impress. With apricots, honey and smooth minerality it's heaven served with any fish dish.

Clos du Gaimont Vouvray Sec 2009

Clos du Gaimont Vouvray Sec 2009 French White Wine

Type: Chenin Blanc

2009 was about as wonderful a vintage as the Loire has ever seen and Francois Chainier certainly took full advantage with this simply superb white. Honeyed and luscious coupled with bracing acidity this is one to buy by the car load.

Scintilla Single Vineyard Chenin Blanc 2011

Scintilla Single Vineyard Chenin Blanc South African White Wine

Type: Chenin Blanc

Stellenbosch is massively over-rated as a wine region. However, there are ridges and pockets of vines that are truly spectacular, meaning that finding the right parcel of fruit (like this one) is paramount. A preciously pure tribute to both region and winemaking skill.

Love that extra sweetness!
  - Andrew
Demi-sec it says on the label and demi-sec it certainly is! Part of an auction case, I found it too sweet for my personal taste. However, I'd strongly recommend it to those of you who enjoy a well-balanced medium wine.

Nice, sweet, fruity white
