2006 Montlouis sur Loire - Les Tuffeaux

A White wine (Chenin Blanc) from Francois Chidaine in France.

Description/Review: This wine is crafted by one of the best producers in the Loire Valley of France. Chidaine is based in the town of Montlouis just upriver from Tours. His wines, always 100% Chenin Blanc, have lots of different flavors, aromas and textures. The Tuffeaux is sourced from 30-90 year old vines and shows aromas and flavors of quince and pear wrapped up in a full-bodied, golden-colored robe. And it's organic to boot. Should be great with pork dishes, goat cheeses or even as an apertif. - Erskine (90pts Wine Spectator)
