2015 François Pinon Vouvray Silex Noir - France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray (5/23/2020)
PnP, served non-blind over 3 hours. Medium straw color, bright, and clear. Not the woolen version of Chenin Blanc, instead this is about white, and to a lesser extent, yellow fruits, soil/mineral, and a whisper of honey that never actually reveals itself. Very precise, elegant palate; clearly a master at work. Best served just below cellar temp, and an hour of air only seemed to help. Should hold in this preferred plateau for another 10-15 years, but there’s just so much to enjoy now, too. 12,5% abv., dry, medium-bodied, lovely. highly recommended
