Vouvray Sec - Domaine Du Clos Naudin

"Domaine Du Clos Naudin's Vouvray Sec is a complex and intriguing white wine based on chenin blanc, which expresses the Vouvray terroir with a refined and round fruit. The grapes come from 40-year-old vines found on clayey-siliceous soils capable of giving the chenin blanc freshness and nervous tension. Fermented in steel and aged for 8 months in 300 liter barrels. We recommend opening the bottle before serving. A wine capable of conquering the hearts of enthusiasts.

Pairing

Great with fish starters, light first courses, to try with an octopus on potato cream.
