Marcel Martin Le Droissy Vouvray

The Le Droissy Vouvray from Marcel Martin is just as surprising as it is delicious. It is an off-dry Chenin Blanc, meaning it is slightly sweeter than its drier counterpart and offers a rather distinct fruitiness. The wine itself is an excellent offering from Marcel Martin and should be tried by all fans of Chenin Blanc.

Marcel Martin Le Droissy Vouvray is a bold wine with a bold personality. It is slightly off-dry with a perceptible sweetness, but not overly so. It has a nice smooth acidity that is refreshing and cleansing. To the eye: beautiful, intense yellows are presented with slight hints of green and gold. On the nose: a fruit-heavy bouquet of peach is noticed coupled with a beautiful floral scent that is intertwined with a fresh minerality. On the palate: distinct notes of green apple, peach, and quince are observed balanced with a sweet, vibrant acidity. It is smooth, oily, and has a pleasantly long-finish.

This particular Chenin Blanc pairs perfectly with spicy seafood and chicken dishes. It will complement soft, subtle cheeses very well, and can be comfortably paired with sashimi.
