Melon and Cantaloupe

2005 Champalou Vouvray “La Cuvee des Fondraux”
Shane’s Notes
$18.99

This wine reminded me how much I like Vouvray. While I like my Viognier dry, I prefer Chenin Blanc to be slightly sweet. This wine is probably a demi sec and the sweetness level is perfect for my palate. The palate shows bright melon, cantaloupe and very crisp acidity with a medium length finish. This Vouvray drinks well now but it would probably benefit from some bottle age.
