2002 Marc Bredif Grande Annee Vouvray (Museum Release)
Grape
Chenin Blanc
Its Origins
Marc Brédif was established in the 1890s, but the Domaine can boast a history which dates back to 1550. Ancient troglodyte cellars, which contain local wines over a hundred years of age, were carved into the underlying chalk during the tenth century, among the finest and most extensive Chais in Valley Loire. Marc Brédif makes the finest and most age worthy Vouvray Chenin Blanc, wines which drink magnificently on release. "Golden straw hue. Nose of green apples and stone fruit, honeyed citrus, acacia florals, hawthorn and fig. Generously layered palate, valencia orange and ripe apple, pine nuts and fragrant orange blossom notes before a complex, long and lingering finish of honeyed citrus and pear."
What The Critics Say
Jancis Robinson on the 2002 vintage
“A successful if somewhat cool year, characterised by classic balance and structure for all varieties. The opposite in style to the opulent 2003. The wines of 2002 have an exceptional purity of fruit - partly due to yields being down as much as 20%. The sweet wines are rich yet balanced thanks to raisining rather than noble rot in this vintage.”
