Summer of Vouvray: This is a single vineyard wine. The soil is of a Clayish-silicious type. The wine is vinified in barrel. The wines from the Girardières vineyard are made in both a dry (Sec) and semi dry (Demisec) style. The bottle I purchased did not indicate which style it was but Otis and I tasted some sweetness leading us to believe that it was the latter. The wine was a light yellow color. Very pleasant apple aromas. Round and medium bodied with the sweetness mentioned earlier. Not heavy at all and rather fruity with notes of pear and other white fruits. Good acidity holding everything together. 90 points.
