2015 Marc Bredif Vouvray Classic (Museum Release)

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.

$50.99 in mixed 6+ or $56.99 per bottle

Overview

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

Wine Scholar Guild on Loire 2015 vintage

"After the warmest winter in a century, late February and March were cool, so flowering came normally in early April, with more cool weather at the end of April. After that, summer was sunny and warm with a very hot, early July. The growers were happy to see some mid-August rain, and fine, warm weather then returned for a leisurely September harvest. This is a great vintage across the board in the Loire, for dry wines, and for sweet wines too (with vivid, fresh acidity as well as generous sugars). The best wines will make superb cellar prospects.”
