Clos Naudin (Foreau), Vouvray Moelleux Vintage:1997 Vivid purpleForeau's 1997 Vouvray Moelleux offers mouth watering aromas of yellow plums (mirabelles), minerals, and hints of scents that bring to mind a roasted chicken. Blood oranges, apricots, and honeysuckle blossoms can be found throughout this wine's personality and impressively long finish. It is beautifully rendered, has outstanding grip and definition, and a medium body. Projected maturity, now 2020+.
