2006 Francois Pinon - Vouvray Cuvee Tradition
Tuesday, July 29, 2008
One of my favorite white grapes is the Chenin Blanc and the best place to find this wine is France. The Chenin Blanc known as Vouvray (region in France) is full of sweet flavors, creamy texture and a hint of oak. This wine has a golden hue with a light and floral nose. If you are looking for a wine to pair with spicy food, this is one since the sweetness can calm the heat. This is not a dessert wine nor a simple and cheap white, it's complex with tropical flavors and a lingering finish.
You can find this bottle at Cloverleaf Fine Wines in Royal Oak. If you havn't been to the new location you need to check it out. The layout is very cool and the selection is one of the best for the price.
