Marc Bredif Vouvray 2014

The domaine of Marc Bredif is one of the most famous names in the Loire, renowned for the longevity and quality of their Vouvray. Established in 1893 under the name of Chateau les Roches it wasn’t until 1919 when Marc Bredif took over from his uncle, that the name was changed to reflect the change in ownership.

Brilliant very pale straw colour with green tinged edges and a watery hue. Aromas of Jonathan apple, ripe pear and honeysuckle emerge on the nose with subtle quince end notes. Well rounded texturally the palate features flavours of ripe pear and baked apple overlaid by honeysuckle with a touch of quince on the fresh dry finish. Aftertaste of ripe pears, honeysuckle, baked apple and light quince.

Arguably their best vintage in the last 50 years- drink over the next 5-6.
