Marc Bredif Vouvray 'Grande Annee' 2016
The Wine
Marc Bredif produces three levels of Vouvray, each with a greater degree of concentration and sweetness.
The 'Grande Année' bottling highlights Bredif's off-dry style, only released when perfectly ready to drink, usually over a decade after harvest. The 2016 vintage shines with tropical hints of orange, stone fruit, and apricot, accented by a touch of Botrytis. On the palate, it offers vibrant flavors of marmalade, pineapple, and orange peel, all beautifully balanced by a crisp acidic backbone. Truly delightful!

About the Wine Maker 
Marc Bredif is a highly respected producer in Vouvray, which shares ownership with the de Ladoucette winery in Pouilly Fume. We recently showed four Vouvrays from Marc Bredif during the Working with Wine seminars and they were a revelation. They all showed great purity of expression, with prodigious ageing potential, and they are an excellent example of what Chenin Blanc can achieve. Complex notes of flowers, quince, lanolin, apples, and citrus are all integrated in wines that have refreshing acidity which aids their slow evolution. - Negociants
