Clos Naudin (Foreau), Vouvray Moelleux Reserve Vintage:2005 The palate is full and

The palate is full and firm with lovely vivacity and loads of mineral sparks

all wrapped in a moderately austere

with red tea and sandalwood hints throughout

Wonderfully elegant in the mouth with vibrant black and red fruits

Clos Naudin (Foreau), Vouvray Moelleux Reserve Vintage:2005 The palate is full andRich golden yellow. Expansive aromas of caramelized apricot, white peach, date, banana and butter cream are layered in the noble botrytis. Rich, spicy tropical fruits coat the palate, but a finely chiseled, chalky minerality keep this chenin blanc remarkably light on its feet. Dense but not at all heavy, it finishes long and not at all cloying. Delicious. Joel B. Payne
