From the Vouvray Appellation in the Loire Valley (France)

Very pale gold in color

Peach-y, pear-y and a little floral-y in the nose

A very nice balance of slight sweetness and zingy acidity, with simple fruit flavors

Vouvray is one of the most well known wines to come out of France's Loire Valley. It's a Chenin Blanc-based wine and the style can range from dry to sweeet. More often than not, entry level Vouvray is dry or slightly off-dry, which makes it quite flexible. It's fine all by itself. It's a good mate with Asian & Indian cuisine. It's even happy to sit next to a plate of Barbecue and some hush-puppies. A lot of wine folk/foodies like it with seafood. I prefer a racy S.Blanc or Muscadet with my fruits-de-mers; just a personal preference.
