The 1997 Domaine du Clos Naudin Vouvray Demi-Sec comes from Philippe Foreau, a name synonymous with high-quality Vouvray. This mature vintage has been described as having a deep golden color, with notes of raisins and herbs, and still possessing very lively acids. It's considered fully mature and profound in good bottles. Tasting notes reveal a textured and vibrant profile with honey, quince, and lemon preserve, alongside a touch of sweetness balanced by ample acidity. Some have also noted wooly, steely, and chemical nuances, with honey, pollen, floral elements, dried apricot, and a cheesy, bitter character with apricot pits. 🍴 Food Pairing: This Vouvray Demi-Sec pairs beautifully with creamy goat cheese and foie gras. It's also an excellent choice for fruit-based desserts. 🥂 Fit for Event: Perfect for special celebrations, a contemplative evening, or as an accompaniment to rich, flavorful dishes. Given its age, gentle handling is advised, and decanting for about an hour can help it open up and express its full complexity. 【Profoundly mature and vibrant Vouvray from a legendary producer】.
