Donatien Bahuaud Les Grands Mortiers Vouvray 2021 Domestic Specialty [Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition

[Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition did not include a tasting note

Named after the legendary 17th-century Irish harpist

with the balance in concrete tanks

Made using authentic blue agave tequila and natural flavours

Yet so light on its feet as it pirouettes through the mouth with a mineral twirl and a saline spurt across the long finish

Donatien Bahuaud Les Grands Mortiers Vouvray 2021 Domestic Specialty [Winemaker Challenge International Wine CompetitionThough aromatically relatively reticent, with aromas of orchard fruit and wet wool, this Vouvray has a far more expressive palate. With flavours of juicy lemons, crunchy apples, pears, and quince, this is classic chenin blanc. Medium bodied, succulent, and off dry, with bright acidity, it has an appealing texture and a long, characteristically grippy, slightly bitter finish. Tasted August 2023. Score 90.
