2016 Marc Bredif Vouvray Classic (Museum Release)

93 Points John Caro
In stock
A superb price for this beautifully pre-aged museum release! This wine has been specially held back as per Bredif tradition, deep in the ancient chalk cellars of the domaine for release at a much later date. With beautiful definition and perfectly poised acidity, this complex wine is still racy and bright. The epitome of Loire whites, this offers astonishing age and quality for the price.
$48.99 in mixed 6+ or $54.99 per bottle

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."
