Tasting - Les Clos Francs Vouvray

Name: Les Clos Francs Vouvray
Region/Country: Loire Valley, France
Year: 2013
Price: $21-- Sale $7.95

Winery Review: The cool climate in the Vouvray appellation area insures good acidity, which is balanced by the distinctly fruity character of the Chenin Blanc and the mineral qualities imparted by the soil. Thanks to these natural elements, this Vouvray combines elegance and vigor with honey dipped pears and an inherent freshness. 

My Review: This wine was just not my style. It smelled like nail polish remover, with no hint of fruity character, as described in the winery review. It had a kick of spices on the tongue, which gave out some distinct flavors, but it was bitter and left a strange texture on the tongue. I would give this wine an 82. I tasted this on its own with no food.
