#10 Jane Anson’s “Top Fine Wines 2019”- Vigneau-Chevreau Cuvee Silex 2018

Vigneau-Chevreau, Vouvray, Cuvée Silex 2018 – “A wonderful Chenin Blanc from Vigneau-Chevreau in the Loire”- Jane Anson
#10 Jane Anson’s “Top Fine Wines 2019”
95 points – Decanter
“A brilliant value Chenin that delivers the moreish combination of steely acidity with sweet peaches and pear creaminess. There is a touch of residual sugar in this – no more than 9g/l – but it is only discernible through the weight of fruit, never through sweetness. The vines are all aged between 30 and 40 years old, from a certified organic vineyard (farmed biodynamically). Drunk over a family lunch with heaped plates of langoustines and prawns, topped of with baguette and salty butter. Heaven, from an estate that I don’t know well but was made hugely happy by. Drinking Window 2019 – 2023.”- Jane Anson, Decanter
