Vinous | A savory, structured, dry Vouvray. There's restrained fruit, all baked apple pastries, citrus and baking spices in the 2019 Grosse Pierre.

Palate: Taut and crystalline; features vibrant acidity, tart apple, and quince flavors.
-
Finish: Long, refreshing, and zippy with a distinct chalky or saline mineral edge.
-
Food Pairings: Pairs exceptionally well with fresh shellfish (oysters), grilled white fish with lemon, goat cheese (Valençay or Selles-sur-Cher), and roasted poultry.
