Charles Bove Review: Charles
Bove Vouvray is an off-dry Chenin Blanc (100%) made in the appellation of
Vouvray, the central Loire Valley birthplace of this world-class grape. Here the chalky limestone soil produces an
elegant, fresh and fruity wine, one that is perfect as an aperitif, with spicy
food or strong cheese.
My Review: The color of this wine was in-between a golden yellow
and a greenish yellow. The smell was
very soapy like a cleaning product, or a salty beach air freshener. It has a
mineral quality. It made me think of
beaches that don’t have sand but instead have black rocks. Apricots!
I can rarely taste fruit in wine, and when I do it is in small
hints. But this wine definitely tasted
of apricots. It is smooth, and not at
all spicy or alcoholic. It tastes floral
and sweet, but at the same time has a dryness to it. This is definitely by far my favorite wine of
the semester! It was recommended to me by the Kroger wine expert, who put it on
sale to fit my budget J from
now on I am definitely always going to trust his advice!
