Chenin Blanc
37.5cl * 13% ABV * Touraine, Loire, France
Sometimes we forget that there's more to the Loire Valley than the familiar names of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume and their wines made from Sauvignon Blanc. Marc Brédif is owned and operated by the Baron de Ladoucette. The key to any de Ladoucette wine is quality in the vineyard, the winery and the bottle. The Baron de Ladoucette is dedicated to maintaining exceptionally high standards throughout his portfolio. The wines are made in the state-of-the art winery within the landmark Château du Nozet and are considered to be some of the finest examples of their type.
Nectar is a sweet Vouvray made from 100% Chenin Blanc and is only produced in the very finest of years, when the grapes are at a peak concentration and can withstand being left on the vine a little longer to guarantee that sugar accumulation and to withstand being botrytised. The 1997 will have excellent notes of honey, nuts, candied citrus fruit, quince and unctuously sweet. Nectar has an extremely long lifespan so this '97 will continue to age for a long time.
